Procrastination

why?

There is a gremlin called me

that roams so wild, so free

in the back of my brain

he gives me such pain

I want to strangle

and set him free.

Okay, for me, with the title of Procrastination, the picture you chose, this well written and deep dark poem, and the "why?" I take this as if you are wondering why the heck one would not just "strangle" and be set free...I can relate to it from many past miseries. Well done. It may not be what you meant, but it has meaning to me.

Well done!
Why don't we take firm action to the things about ourselves that give us pain and humiliation?
I am favoriting this one in my library--I gravitate to it so I want to read it again and later again.

A few clever words can make so much clear...I have a lot to learn here! :)

Interesting - Yes the title and picture have me off just a bit. But reading I see? the procrastination, the thoughts that invade everywhere. Causing a bit of a struggle in life, everywhere, so you want to get rid of this little pesky thing - strangle him, set him free, so you to can be?
In any case, I love the piece. Great write :)

I thought this was about procrastination, which I know all about because I procrastinate on writing reviews W.C. all the damned time and I thought I had found a fellow procrastinator.......lol
This is good; with-out going into much detail, I totally understand, friend.

It is about procrastination, and the frustration that comes from always having that monkey biting my back you know? Sometimes it feels like there is only one way to get rid of it. :P

wow, short, but makes a statement! to me, it meant that you just wanted to be yourself with no restrictions. strangle the fuddy duddy, and let gremlin stay free! of course the title tells us something. ;-)

Nice work Mark, yeah I struggle with controlling my naughty side too sometimes!

I got a lot of gremlins locked in my head. I learn to control them. I like the thoughts and the ending. Hard to free those gremlins. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
