Timing My Habit

by Shonda Creemer

21 days/3 weeks
however you choose to proclaim it
the continuance remains the same

I've been told that's how long
it takes to make or break
a habit

sorry, I will have to disagree

because it only took
a single second for you
to make yourself a
habit of mine

and it seems it has taken
much longer than the
allotted space to break
myself of this
habit you've become

but who's counting anyway?

after all
it's only time
and you were always

my habit made
to be broken

Author's Note: old habits die hard, anyone have a hammer?

Habits are nasty little viruses, that drain humanity from greatness at times. We're funny like that, always digging our own graves. Great piece..
