Do This! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Forget about each yesterday.
And what was wished,
To leave not happen...
With a letting of time from you slip.

Forget about the 'what ifs' and 'could bees' too!
You knew each day you procrastinated.
You know this to be true.
Just as you do the finding of excuses made.

Don't hesitate.
Clean the slate.
Be more determined to escape,
A life you have lived faking steps forward to make.

Forget about each yesterday.
And what was wished,
To leave not happen...
With a letting of time from you slip.

Don't hesitate.
Clean the slate.
Be more determined to escape,
A life you have lived faking steps forward to make.

Do this!
Without a plan to prove you can get up and move.
Do this!
Only you can prevent the making of another excuse.
