WHY DO I DO IT? WHY CAN’T I QUIT?
CONSCIENCE AND REASON DON’T SEEM TO FIT.
WHETHER FOOD, MONEY OR EVEN WORSE,
EXCESS IS MY FORTUNE, MY FATE, MY CURSE.
I JUST NEED TO SAY “NO” WITH MY WILL.
TAKE CONTROL OF MYSELF; THEN FULFILL
MY DUTY WHENEVER TEMPTATION PRESENTS.
AVOID THE EXTREMES; DO WHAT MAKE SENSE.
