Your Own Worst Enemy

How many times have I said I’m going to do this,

only to never follow through because of my laziness

how many times have I said I’m going to get up and go,

only to then respond, “Not now, I will tomorrow though

”How many times have I promised myself that I was going to improve

Only to stay stuck on the couch and never make a move

How many times have I made things worse,

simply by letting my actions be perverse

How many times have I gotten in my own way,

by never letting my actions live up to the words that I say

How many times have I said the word “I”,

consulting the one person who always turns a blind eye

When was the last time I sought help apart from me?

Probably the last time I felt free
