Distractions

Whisper in my ear, without my permission
Aimless, entertaining, aiding inattention  

Pleasures of the world fill my desires 
Vision unclear as I play with the fire 

Double edged sword dealing with habits
Mind on the run as if it were a rabbit 

Dismissing the need for prioritization 
Psyche saturated through over-stimulation

Time passes by, and you won't even notice
Success or failure depends on your focus
