The connection is slow

My laptop slept

My pen's still fine

But my thoughts have been swept


When will I start?

When can I submit?

Gotta do this now

No more "later" and "just a bit"


It's been a month since it was given

It's been four days since it was due

My eyes, they started hurting

But my works, I still don't do


Though I wanted to, I REALLY do

But I feel so lazy and unmotivated to

My mind is hazy, I am frustrated

I want to begin but I feel swamped and overwhelmed


Told myself I'd do it on Sunday

Hell, it's already f*cking Tuesday

Now I'm wasting time again

I've watched and read and made this poem


My head hurts

I feel sick

I want to vomit

But I don't want to delay this by even one bit


I wanna do it now

I wanna finish this somehow

In one way or another I still need to do this

Though I feel like I want to just stop and quit


Why am I living like this?

Why am I making things hard for myself?

Why can't I just get everything over with?

And finish all that's due before everything else


It's stressful, I wanna cry

It's hard but I don't wanna die

I'm facing the consequences of my actions

I know, but I chose to ignore and lie
