Impulse Control Issues

Just like flipping a switch...

it's just as easy

to do what you like

as it is

to do what you must

it's just as easy

to do what's hard

as it is

to do what you lust

 

blessed few do

sorry some suffer

Tame each time

the need arises

as if that time

is your last

Rapid are the changes in people sometimes, yet, the impulses are more rapid than the person they hold to. "blessed few do / sorry some suffer / Tame each time / the need arises / as if that time / is your last" My favorite lines. Brilliantly written.

. profound wisdom ...
. expressed extremely skillfully ...
. the wise find that "switch" easily ...
. slow learners (like me) take time ...

"Tame each time

the need arises

as if that time

is your last"

Loved this poem very much. The rhythm and the rhyme come quite naturally and fit, aren't forced, and the message is quite something. Keep writing.
