You stall on the call that you’ve got to make,
The weight in your chest’s beginning to ache.
A minute of fear are hours pushed ahead—
You pay and you pay, ten times what you fled.

 

The plan that would take you ten minutes to do
Could’ve brought peace and such a clear view.
But skipping it feels like you’re saving somehow,
As you plow through your day, wiping your brow.

 

You hit snooze again, “I’ll just steal some more time.”
But the sleep you get’s cloaked in slime from your crime.

 You wake up still tired, now your morning’s in debt—
You stole just for comfort, so you’ll pay with regret.

 

Stop paying these rates with your time and your breath,
Choose action, not debts, choose life over death.

 

Excuses disguised as reasons you trust,
Lies you believe that are made out of dust.
You think that you’ve gained, but what have you lost?!
Bankruptcy means there’s a very big cost.
 

So ask yourself clearly each time you delay,
Minute by minute how much extra you’ll pay?
Your comfort now might seems like a needed relief,
But the future collects with ten times the grief.

 

Stop paying these rates with your time and your breath,
Choose action, not debts, choose life over death.
