Excuses come with glancing eyes,
to prove an action right
but have an air of flimsiness
quite ready to take flight.
Excuses:great breathy strings of chatter and talk. Explanations, cloaked in unneeded shame or guilt,
play on one’s emotions, but close inspection sees through the muddy silt.
Reasons are built on logic.
Making sense of things is key.
They rest on facts both cut and dried,
solid meaning their decree.
So live inside your limits
but respect them all the same.
Epilepsy can be a convenient excuse,
but ensure reason plays the game.
“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than
anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”
~ Henry Ward Beecher
