Procrastination
I’ll do it later
Books, I’m sorry
But I’m now a hater
Not to worry
There is this weight
That lessens my fate
That I find tight
To unravel and fight
Exactly when my alarm clock rings
It’s melody is fatal as it sings.
But why beat around the bushes when I can say it right to its face
Hey you, procrastination
lets cut the chase
Here is your eviction notice
effective today
Incase you didn't notice
you’ve lived here for far too long
And you’ve never paid rent
I am done with you
I’m done postponing my dreams just cos your wife laziness is on her maternity leave!
I’m done withholding myself from opportunities just cos she’s given birth to fear!
I’m done not moving forward in life just cos your pet dog stagnation
keeps crossing the line!
I’m sorry but it not my fault that your aunt depression went to jail for attempting to murder my happiness!
I’m giving you five minutes to evacuate
And as you pack,
Leave my rent on the table
I’ll use it to rebuild what you have destroyed
One more thing, never again
Try to curse what God has blessed!
