The Fight


Laziness threatens to overtake me I must not give in! Fatigue settles in. The will to do nothing overcomes me I must not give in! Temporary contentment wriggles in. Opportunity is wasted I must regain my strength! Time passes by... Such is life.

<p>This poem wavers between having a humorous and serious tone. Your repetition of "I must not give in!" is effective as a joke,but your poem also makes the reader realize that laziness and procrastination are not funny. Unfortunately, that revelation comes about only when someone has procrastinated too long! Keep writing- have you ever written a ballad poem? Check out how to and more in the Resources section.</p>
