Lick This Lethargy

     Gotta get out and about
        I’m gonna lick this lethargy

     What’s holding me back
        is an utter lack of energy

     No pep talks, coffee, drugs
        or food on a platter for me

     Frankly, it all comes down to
        mind over matter, you see

Love that title! I feel it’s the heat inspiring and tiring! Good poem! I haven’t written in days!

I hear you...attitude is at least 75% of it. Strong black coffee with shot of Sambuca sits high in my other 25. Blessings my friend. You always get me drinking, I mean thinking.
