Deferral an insidious skulking mortal
born out of apathy where tenacity is held.
Creeps through nerves leaving trails
of poisonous narcotics, pulls on the strings
of a fragile brain.
Feeds on a grit in lethargy
mind desperately seeks to awake,
contaminates ambitions by turning
desires into dreams.
Finds its death by chocking
On gulps of great passions and resolve.
