The problem sure won’t solve itself
Life will not become more easy
Headaches sure won’t disappear
They will stay right here in plain sight
The solution can not ever come
Through laziness or idleness
But only stronger it will become
Growing larger every day
When in doubt about the future
When contemplating what might happen
When lingering for one more day
When overwhelmed with anxiety
I get to work as fast as lightning
Jumping off the couch onto the street
Breaking inertia’s barrier
Throwing off the iron anchor
Work, the fastest shortcut is
Cutting through the fog and perils
Leading directly to the answer
Carving the pathway out of nothing
Conquering all enemies
Creating the solution every time
Even when all hope is lost
And impossible the route may seem
It may be long, it might be short
Mistakes a plenty will abound
But each action provides a piece
A vital clue in the creation process
Work is the answer every time
When in doubt, just get to work
Then everything will fall in line
Finding the answer with each mistake
Anger and depression fade away
Loneliness and bitterness
Are quick to depart from our hearts
When to our work we return
