Complacency


Complacency

 

 

Who am I living this life

Have I become content with my choices?

Am I getting comfortable with this life?

I have shown nothing

Complacent that is what others and I become

Complacency the word that kills

Empires

Nations

Don’t ever look back

Why look into the past

 YOLO the word of the era

FOOL

That is what I have become

A complacent thinker

Thinking the world owes me

Why can’t I turn around?

 Realize truth what makes me feel alive

NO BS

Truth

In ones self

In ones heart

And in ones sole

Wake up strive

Why wait for tomorrow

When one should EARN

Today
