Totally Unhealthy

Giving in to temptation…

Choosing a Big Mac and fries

Not a salad

Cheese…need I say more?

Imbibing Sugar

In all it’s sneaky guises

Having “just one more”

Alcoholic beverage

When it was time to stop

Some time ago

Getting the bus

Hopping in the car

When it’s perfectly safe to walk

Unwise choices all

But they are enjoyable

They are easier

And being lazy is a tempting choice

But to play the long game

And know

Well, you already know …

Be truly AWARE

You only have one life

And without your health

Everything will be a struggle

And you’ll actually be living only half a life

Totally unhealthy
