Ode to Sibling Rivalry

Pained at 6, gasping at 15, persevering to a continuous 21.
A determination almost forgotten,
Filled with awareness my closest blood is already done.

Both "bless-ed" with short limbs, and "cheating" physics;
You disobeying friction with socks and wood,
I relying on equal and opposite force of floor to chest.

Each day - Have you done yours? Yes. In a row? Yes.
O Brother, how long (for mother's love) shall we do this?

    Here is a hiaku
    Sweaty, Gross, Nasty
    My love life is over

  3. Alas
    Be not near over
    "Come on" seems not enough
    Determination!?!
    Ending would be easier
    Free time - what time?
    Goal, mine seems internally weak
    Help me
    I can do this
    Just wonder why to bother
    Knuckle down
    Labor is love
    Muscles will build
    Now - do them now!
    Oh but it's not easy
    Persevere
    Question not
    Rouse your friends, your fire
    Squat, step back
    Thrust, push
    Up
    Very soon - simple?
