Procrastination

I gaze into the future 

I run into a wall 

I sit at my computer 

And I begin to stall 

Maybe I'll just sit in bed 

Maybe I'll muffle the worry 

The anxiety and fear and dread 

Oh! That kitten's cute and furry 

Why does it matter now? 

I am only so young 

My hand pressures my brow 

And no ideas are sprung 

I could be a writer! 

An engineer, a cook! 

But no one would eat my food 

Or read my silly books 

No, for now I'll sit here 

My mind can rest once more 

Of course, it will be all clear 

Just like it's been before

i enjoyed this emotional read, very well written

Oh how I can relate! I get home from school, have a leisurely snack, watch some TV, browse websites or work on my story, and then after several hours I begin my homework. Often it carries late into the night, past 12 o'clock at times. Good thing I have a high tolerance for a "no sleep" schedule. I'll do this all through the week, and then basically sleep through the weekend to catch up on my sleep.

This made me laugh, which I really needed. This is a great piece and it's something a lot of people can relate to. I do the same thing: I sit and list all sorts of things I should be doing, and instead, I end up on this website or sleeping, or sitting around being anything but productive. You did a great job of writing about it. x
