I’m Out of Energy

It seems I’m out of energy.
I try to save to some degree,
But then I spend chaotically.
I need a good recharge.

I’ve never been one to be wise
With energy, you might surmise;
Expended through the lows and highs
Alike, a constant sparge.

I feel as though I need to strut
My stuff if I’m to make the cut.
But this, I do suppose, is what
I get for living large.

And now, because I did not save
And did not frugal courses brave,
I must recharge, and too behave,
Or else through life I’ll barge.
