Facing the Greatest Enemy


Too many times I settled for mediocrity Embracing shiftless sloth over responsibility Every day I’ll fight for my integrity I wish I could say I found clarity I spend more time sleeping than I do working I use more strength eating than I do exercising Currently I feel like a big fat sinner Right now I am not your big winner Personally I’m as abstinent as you get But the TV. is what I need to quit I came here to get a decent education Except I’m still faced with self-aggravation One day laziness will be the death of me Probably won’t make it to the next century I need to be discipline, I need to be firm Why can’t I focus these things long term!
