Inertia

A body at rest

Will stay at rest

Unless somebody moves it

And that my life

Is as it is

Most definitely proves it.

So many things

There are to do

And yet remain undone

And here I am

Still sitting here

With none of them begun

I could get up

And take a walk

Or even wash some dishes

So much of what

We want from life

Lives only in our wishes

So many hats

I might have worn

So many roles to play

I might have even

Changed the world

But here I sit today

A body moves

The way it does

And so will keep on going

What will stop it
