Excused no more

A brutal self-examination has made me realize

I’ve been making too many excuses- it is not a surprise

That I am staying stuck in my old ways

I have been spending my days

Avoiding challenges, finding every excuse

To run away from discomfort, I seem to choose

The path of least resistance, the easiest way out

I have not made much progress, no doubt..

*

I start with the blanket excuse that time I lack

To complete a task- but eventually find a hack

To complete what I need to, in an unconventional way

I shall count that as a win for today..

*

I need to be cognizant of the excuses that I make

To fall into a slippery slope of inaction, much it does not take

To replace each excuse with a strategy I shall attempt

To face challenges head on instead of finding excuses is my intent
