Procrastination

By Alyson Boswell

I seriously do not wish to fail,

But due to this assignment, I just might.

I can’t focus. My train of thought’s derailed.

Unfortunately, I’ll be up all night.

Perhaps I’ll go outside and get some air.

This homework really drives me up the wall.

I’m thinking to myself, “Why should I care?”

“It’s really not that hard.” And after all

Of the all-nighters that I’ve pulled before,

One would think by now, I would be a pro.

I need caffeine. I’ll go to the C-store

Because I just can’t sit still. And although

This is procrastination at its best,

When I am done at last, I won’t be stressed.
