Why Do I Train? - Found Poem

This poem is a found poem based on the article, "Why do you train?" by John Gaglione. I wrote this for my creative writing class... Enjoy!


Why do I train?

Seems a simple question
Until you take a look

To be the best version of me

Get bigger in my biceps
And stronger mentally

Teaches you to deal
With all adversity

It’s a metaphor for life

Which requires a positive
attitude to strive

To be an effective educator

Books on how to train
Videos on how to avoid pain

Coaches and seminars
To perfect my technique

All that leaves me

the best I can be
