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.

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.
