Idleness

How long have you been in me ?
You who loiter and linger 

Shattering all my dreams 
Awating all the ordeals

Turning my bones weak 
Making my spirit bleak 

For iam growing lazy 
And admiring a life; cozy 

Forcing my forfeit to flourish 
And my serendipity to vanish 

They said idleness is destructive 
Want to undo my follies and be constructive 

Alas! Never too late
To change my fate
