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
