Lackadaisically Lackluster

You lack what I have.
You can't have it back,
    because your lack is my gain.
Lacks define your success.
The less you have the better.
But, a life with too many lacks is lackluster,
    a life spent lolling and loitering
    is lackadaisical bliss.
It is a half-hearted half-life, ruined by deficiencies.
So count your lacks, one by one
    and get rid of them.
Be fulfilled as you fill your lacks,
    like a dentist fills cavities.
