24/100 - Against Myself

Motivation is tricky
not to think but to do
excuses are sticking
reluctance grew through

‘Why?' echoes loud,
hesitation rings back
doubt starts to crowd
determined to slack

'It’s fun' I protest
'good for the soul'
they laugh, not in jest
mocking my goal.

I will close my ears
as my brain tries to say no.
I’m not listening to fears,
the lazy won’t grow

'I’m going. I’m going,'
My internal chant.
No regrets owing,
its 'why not?' no 'can’t'.
