It’s discipline
I’m seeking now and forever
Stop talking just act!
It’s discipline
My arch nemesis I face
Only in winter.
Out of the icy cold
It arrives easy get up
Take action in light.
Day one, day two, yes
Work at it routine is in
the lack of routine.
It’s discipline
I envy with all my heart
Let go; don’t compare
Your way is working
Time, give it time relax and
See transformation!
