The lazy soul.
Make hay while the sun shine.
The lazy soul, a creature of ease,
Lives life in slow motion, with minimal breeze.
Their days are filled with lounging and rest,
Their nights with dreams of nothing, and a mind at best.
Their motivation is minimal, their drive is low,
They'd rather watch the world go by, than take a step to grow.
Their potential is wasted, their talents unseen,
As they succumb to sloth, and let life pass them by, like a dream.
Their excuses are many, their justifications grand,
But the truth is simple, they're just too lazy to take a stand.
They let life happen to them, rather than making it happen themselves,
And so they stay stuck, in a rut of their own making, with no one to blame but themselves.
But still, there's hope for the lazy soul,
A chance to break free, and reach their goals.
For with a spark of determination, and a push to begin,
They can rise from their slumber, and let their true self shine within.

Craft Over Catharsis Challenge Winners
Craft Over Catharsis? What the hell does that even mean? The phrase came out of a curation meeting as a genuine question. We had been noticing that many challenge entries, across prompts, naturally gravitate toward trauma, grief, and personal reckoning. That makes sense. Writing is often cathartic. It's one of the ways we process what we've lived through.
