21
They said 21 days for a new habit,
Only a week for my interest to fade,
Another week for a new distraction,
And soon enough the realisation,
That we have to go back,
Start this over, make a list
Of all the things you want,
Hoping it will make it easier
To chase a goal if you can see it,
A week for that piece of paper
To turn into an ashtray,
Of crushed enthusiasm and
Burnt out exhaustion,
Till we pick ourselves up
And do it all over again
21 days to turn it all around,
21 years and
we’re still figuring this out.
