You against yourself

Hating when you should be loving,
Frowning when you should be smiling,
Crying when you should be laughing,
Doubting when you should be believing,
Sitting when you be rising,
Sleeping when you should be working,
Walking when you should be running,
Talking when you should be listening;

Clearly struggling and battling against yourself
seemingly the easiest thing to do but
truthfully, its you against yourself

You have one life, one spirit, one heart, one soul, one you
why not zealously grab every opportunity as it comes
try not to foolishly pretend like you have no clue
who made it easily and kept their gain easily, please?

Blame no one but yourself
 if all you do is sit and wait for the right time
truthfully, its you against yourself
