[ You Feel Like You Were Watching The Deterioration Of Your Body ]
[ & Your Brain ]
[ It Feels Like You Have Been Run Over By A Freight Train ]
[ Being Wobbly Has Been Nothing New ]
[ If Someone Were To Ask How Many Times? ]
[ You Would Say Many Times Multiplied By (2) ]
[ Your Muscles Have Atrophied Beyond Repair ]
[ If You Were Ever To See Good Muscle On The Legs ]
[ You Would Quickly Whisper To Yourself, “I’d Take A Pair!” ]
[ Your Abs Ran Out Of Town Before Ever Being Seen ]
[ You Almost Caught Them Peeking Out ]
[ When You Were Training To Be Lean ]
[ @ Least You Were Trying ]
[ Instead Of Sitting In Your Basement Crying ]
[ During Your Strongest Hay Day ]
[ You Tried To Lift Heavy ]
[ While Controlling What You Weighed ]
[ All Of The Hard Days Lifting To Prepare You For Your Elder Years ]
[ Never Soothed Your Fears ]
[ Now That You See That It Was A Complete Waste Of Time ]
[ Causes You Silent Rage ]
[ It Would Have Been More Rewarding If You Went Out & Committed A Crime ]
[ & Been Locked Up In A Cage ]
[ It Is A Crime What Happened To Your Body ]
[ You Should Have Known Something Was Going Wrong ]
[ When Things Started Looking Oddly ]
[ It Sure Did Not Take That Long ]
[ For All Of Your Muscle Mass To Whither Away ]
[ You Don’t Find This To Be Okay ]
[ But You Do See That These Changes Are Here To Stay ]
