Procrastination--High School
Two days before the test I sat enthralled;
My novel was for pleasure, not the test.
I had two days, why should I study yet?
With just three chapters left, I’d read the rest.
I put it off, and read the next day too,
Avoiding thoughts that said it was not right.
But when I went to school next day I found
I failed because of how I’d spent my night.
The next test came, and I was well prepared;
I did not read, instead I studied well.
I made it my priority to learn,
And when I did, I found I could excel.
Work hard, prioritize, and see it through,
Be diligent in everything you do.
