Analysis of A habit
Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)
A habit is something you can’t quit
But eventually you will have to
People think they are perfect
When they really aren’t
we all have a destiny in life
We all have our dreams
We have our wishes we hope
We want to go for more in life
Why do most people start
When they know it’s wrong
Why do people think it’s cool?
It’s because other people do it
Life is a challenge
That we all go through
Everything in life we do
Will always require work and patience
