Physical Activity for a Mental Rest
A six minute mile,
feet hardly touching the ground.
Nothing else matters,
My standing backflip
seems to defy gravity.
I spin right around.
Only five more reps.
Beads of sweat drip down my face.
I have no worries.
They often ask me
why I do it. I reply,
nothing's more stress free.
When I'm at the gym
I lose sight of all school work
and focus on me.
Determination,
perseverance and good health,
a few of the perks.
What a great relief.
The week now ends and again
the cycle begins.
