I am my greatest enemy
All too familiar a sentiment
My greatest hindrance
My greatest enemy’s most damaging tool
Inaction

Instead of order, chaos
Instead of a homework assignment, a YouTube video
Instead of the weight room, the bed sheets

Others can guide
A speaker, heard
A sentence, or a paragraph, read
An action, two actions, dozens, observed
Rouse to resolve, to anger, to action
Briefly

But the true solution is within
I cast my chains,
And so only I can break them.

George Levitin
