Wheels of change

I told myself I'd finally change this year,

Be organized, focused, and full of cheer.

Day one: perfect. Day two: still strong.

Day three: I “accidentally” did nothing all day long.

I make big plans like I’m super in charge,

Then, get distracted by literally one leaf or a tick.

My motivation shows up, then runs away—

No explanation, no note, no “say.”

When I mess up, I try to act wise,

But mostly, I just try not to stare into the skies.

Then I say, “Okay, I’ll fix this soon,”

While eating snacks at an unreasonable noon.

Change keeps happening, whether I like it or not,

Like losing my pen and blaming the spot.

And if I have a headache? Well, what can I say—

I’m just a saucy fellow having a chaotic day.

Still, I grow a bit (or so they claim),

Even if I forget what I was doing mid-game.

So here I am, not perfect, just real—

A slightly evolved person on the wheel of change.
