Internal Battle
Torpidity, my lassitude’s mourner
despairs and stares in disbelief
retreats to a distant cerebral corner
overcome with cranial grief
Depressive incomprehensible anguish
ego-driven false despair
hesitant to ever relinquish
the right to melancholy care
lassitude returns the victor
in the battle quietly waged
lassitude, torpidity’s heckler
motivation the compass gauge
Lassitude empowered to nourish
propagates the quintessence flourish
