Velleity is my recurrent disease
Procrastination is in my genes
My aspirations and dreams remain restrained
As history is full of self-deprecation
A life I could have built during my younger years
Are forsaken for self-indulgent, impetuous, and imprudent ways
Tenacity and persistence are the keys to success in life
Trifling importance to them is a sin
With regrets I live, my dreams could have been a reality
