Sunday Whirl with words:

choice cycle create gap gathering habits however

lessen regard suffering  undoing virtue

Old habits die hard

Scant attention given to discard 

One can create due regard

But many do not act smart

Undoing of ingrained suffering

By virtue of gathering strength

Be rid of silliness long standing

To lessen the gap to reduced length

However breaking a habit

Is no mean easy but requires

Strong resolve to be effective

Once decided one never falters

Avoid cycle of tryouts

Stay true to a reformed self

Deserving  then of a shout-out

Having triumphed above all else
