Procrastination

A 
habit
born of fear
or maybe doubt.
Is pride a factor?
Don't tell me what to do
or I won't want to do it!
"I have to", might come into play.
Forcing oneself causes rebellion.
Really now! I have better things to do!

What
do I
need to do?  
The good news is 
I am free to choose. 
I must WANT to begin, 
remembering my reward;
the pure joy of accomplishment.
Conscious choices are sure to combat. 
Tendencies undermining my success.

Did you write this about me? Sure sounds like it. I guess that's why you wrote it. We are all the same
