Ode to the Iron Therapy

Sweat and Soul, A Gym Odyssey

Amidst the clanging of weights and pumping steel,

In the sacred halls where my self aspirations reveal,

Lies my niche, my haven, as I’m drenched in sweat,

Ode to the Iron Therapy, where I found my reset.

*

Within your mirrored walls, my burdens quell,

My struggles recede as my determination swells.

The struggle of each rep, questioning my drive,

I find peace in the chaos, sculpting my life.

*

Overtime you nurtured my confidence,

My fortitude and resolve forged by resilience.

I embodied an unshakable demeanor,

Ode to the Iron Therapy, I am my own believer.

*

Along these hardened walls, I call my own space,

Years endured, I mentor the youth finding their own place.

The young ins burden the world, seeking guidance,

I impart them lessons from my teacher; which is experience.

*

I help guide to those who seek their own strength,

Their eyes shine with hope despite the uncertain.

Ode to the Iron Therapy, you've bestowed me new life,

To instill in others self love and strong mind.

*

This is a world of iron and echoed cheers,

Forged connections and as one we conquered fears.

Camaraderie blooms as weight plates collide,

We are bound by our own ambitions, achieving with pride.

*

In your sanctuary, I discover hidden parts of me,

Unlocking the door to a version of myself breaking free.

With sweat, heart, and soul, I navigate life’s test,

Ode to the Iron Therapy, gratitude to you for I am my best.
