Did You Knock

At the beginning you're easy to manage Then slowly I push you away As others fill your space Time is gone so fast each day Justified I just want to rest now I will finish later this chore That obligation So easy to glide out the door Past you...did you knock? Twice? I didn't really forget you A nagging presence. Notes left Behind The deadlines are always down the street Fear is a stopper. The procrastinator Such relief when you are all done Just knock

I have to tell you that I have my phone turned off unless I want to make a call out; this eliminates a lot of problems. Ha!

this is very interesting. I am trying to figure out if it's an actual person or a symbol for something else. Let me see your very first post!

Good morning Andrea....for me, it is about procrastination, putting off someone or something that I don't want to deal with until I have to. I usually can feel the presence of "nagging thoughts" what I haven't done and still need to do!
