here we go again...

If you don't stop a habit--maybe not sinful in itself, but not exactly appealing--it will turn around and bite you. Maybe in an hour; or a day; a week, month, maybe even years. But if you kneel in elbow grease, your going to come up with elbow grease. So we tell ourselves that this time will be the last time. And we tell ourselves that an end is just around the corner, you can already see it. You tell yourself that it's no big deal, it doesn't matter, and not to worry about it. Deep down you know it's swinging full-circle. You can stop it now. Just shut your mouth. But you don't. Paralyzed? Apathetic? Doesn't matter, because either way, it keeps coming and coming, until it hits you in the face, and you wished you would've listened to your conscience, because now you're hurting and you're tasting the blood in your mouth.
