Muscles

Free verse

My muscles are tight

without a fight

They feel as if

They’ve been hit, by a grenade

No strength inside them

for they have gone,

So flat and saggy as a tire

But they must go on

To fight the life we’re given

About the Creator

Jennifer lindquist

I’ve always had a interest in poetry since I took a creative writing class in high school. Writing poetry is my safe place where I can either get positive or sometimes negative energy out by my writing of poetry.
