I can do better
Than this
Than you thought I could
Than I thought I could
I can improve
I have the ability
I have the potential
I have the know-how
I can rise
Above now
Above all this
Above my equilibrium
I can sit up straighter
Speak more clearly
Write more succinctly
Photograph more carefully
Eat healthier
Exercise more regularly
Drive more safely
Pay more attention
Waste less time
I can do better
But I don’t
And you wonder why
And I wonder why
I can improve
But I coast
And settle for less
And do just enough to get by
I can rise
But I duck
And shy away
And wait... for something
