My Journey
So far I have come
So far still to go
To find a home
And free a soul
Sometimes a day
Sometimes a week
Times off from trying
A new life to seek
Energies wildly spent
Sometimes wasted
The mind becomes weary
And the heart closes
I used to label that lazy
But now I'm not sure
More honestly it is weakness
Through lack of care
I abuse my body and mind
Wasting energy and time
Foolishly squandering resources
The choice is mine
Exercise and diet with love
make me well
Self discipline is the answer
as well
Not because "I should"
But because "It feels good"
