Paving the Way

A poem a day helps pave the way
For feeling I’ve succeeded
In keeping apathy at bay,
A nourishment I’ve needed.

Since most of us have such a crutch,
(It needn’t feature writing)
We might agree that just a touch
Of habit keeps us fighting.

We don’t need others to approve,
For they can never measure
The joy our choices do behoove
To bring us daily pleasure.
