Who Decided 5 AM Was a Good Idea?

The alarm clock screams: It’s 5:00 am!
Why must I wake so early again?
Eyes half-open, stumble out of bed,
Wonderful dreams still buzzing in my head.

Coffee’s brewing, but it feels too slow,
I’m up at dawn? That’s a cruel show!
I yawn so wide that I could swallow the moon,
Who decided to begin a day this soon?!

The world’s still asleep—quiet—missing morning thrill,
Getting out of bed is surely against my will.
But up I go, and greet the day with a beat,
Grateful for this life and all the chaos in it.

A Comedy of Errors in a Gym

I hit the gym, all geared up and ready to go,
With my favorite sneakers and usual glow.
But as I lift weights, trying to gain strength,
A dumbbell slips, despite my full-arm length.

Sweat pours down like a tropical rain,
As I struggle to bench press, feeling the strain.
The heavy barbell slides from the rack!
Landing on my face—wham!—and my eye turns black!

Treadmill running, I trip on my lace,
Flying off in an epic—yet not unusual clumsy race.
People around me can’t help but stare,
I just smile back, fixing my messy hair.

Yoga poses? Okay, I’ll give it a shot!
But, man, balancing’s harder than I thought!
Toppling over in a twisted mess,
I laugh it off, ’cause surely, I can’t impress.

Despite the chaos, the slips, and the falls,
I keep on going, giving it my all.
For every mistake, a story to share,
‘Cause gym adventures are beyond compare!

*Did I mention I’m clumsy? 😉 These past few months have been quite unfortunate, causing many injuries. But hey, I’m back at the gym, still accident-prone, and trying to get back into shape for the summer. Though, considering it’s the end of June, I don’t think I’ll get there! 😜 In reflection, I enjoy writing about it and laughing it off. I look kinda badass cool, don’t I?
