ProcrastinatingA Poem by Ocean DoubtfirePlenty of us have been here I expect.I am waiting to stop waiting While my precious time’s abating And I hate myself for stating It’s not doing any good. Nothing new has yet transpired And I’m feeling far too tired To pursue what I’ve desired Though I promised that I would. Truth be told, I’m much too lazy And my mind is growing hazy And the world outside is crazy So for now, postpone the good. Soon I’ll be aging prematurely And a burden far too early To relations who endure me And expected better surely From the phantom of the past me Who if people ever ask me Who it is I feel ghastly To pretend the name that vastly Undermatches what it should.
Forever there’s a niggling, Partially I’m always thinking, That I’ve sunk and still am sinking Into my deathly habits whole. There’s always time to self-improve If I could master how to move But I don’t think I can answer How to finish off this goal, Or how to finish off this rhyme There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time There’s always time © 2022 Ocean Doubtfire |
