tears
falling
between the bars
of the prison inside
wanting to exercise
not wanting to move
needing a friend
not wanting to ask
gyms aren’t needed
but help
encouragement not needed
buy wanted
wanting to give up
but not wanting to give up
holding the keys
but not unlocking the cell
one foot
in front of the other
is all it takes
to get started
after wiping the tears
hope remains
after missing the alarm
the Son rises
