Take 4, Day 1: Don't Just Give Up

If your goal will not hurt anyone,
You are sleepy, brainwaves wan;
You've lagged for quite a long time,
And at times you're lost for rhyme;
You know that it's quite a feat,
To set a record that's hard to beat;
If at times you had to stop,
Recoup yourself, don't just give up.

(a message to myself)
