Procrastination
Days after days, nights
after nights,
Homework never ends, and
I
Never willing to do it,
not until the last minute.
Thus, postpone, postpone,
and postpone, endlessly
Dreaming to face, or
suffer, in the future.
However, it doesn't work
that way.
Successfully, I postpone
the homework,
For a transient break, in
exchange,
Procrastination punishes
me, by his harassment
It never stops, just like
Demon's pawn, chases me around.
How many study-halls, I
was
Playing games, or
chatting around
To forget the homework,
even for a moment
I didn't mean to, it's
all because of Procrastination
How many nights, I cannot
sleep well,
For guilty of dealing
with Procrastination,
For guilty of escaping my
responsibility.
And how many mornings, with the help
Of a 5:00 a.m. alarm, I
united my spirits,
Finish the
Unfinished.
Procrastination is
playing me,
In a way that a wolf enjoys
its prey.
I, cannot, stop dealing
with him.
Oh, God! What should I
do?
What should I do? Save
me, please!
I, dare not, expect a lot
from you,
Simply a nice night-dream, which
Will not be interrupted
by the 5:00 a.m. alarm.
As a fellow procrastinator, I feel your pain! It's just so easy to put off doing work later and later (with potentially bad results). I've found that once I finally just sit my ass down and get crackin' on my work I can get it all done, but the hardest part is starting. For that reason I like to go somewhere with little distractions (I like finding a nice secluded study room in the library for a few hours)
ReplyDeleteI'm procrastinating right now! Don't expect my post to come up for another hour. I'm just glad that 250 words is not all that much.
