Time drips slow like honey off a spoon

The sun hangs heavy in the afternoon

I blink

I yawn

I wait too long

The clock hands crawl

They mock my soul

My dreams collect dust

A broken goal

Sloth

Oh sloth

A deadly sin

Where does the fire end

Where does it begin

I’ll lay here forever

I’ll never win

The couch becomes my endless sea

A tide of apathy swallowing me

The walls don’t move

Neither do I

A voice inside whispers

“Get up

Try”

But the weight of nothing pulls me to lie

Sloth

Oh sloth

A deadly sin

The fight’s too far

So I cave in

I’ll lay here forever

I’ll never win
