When I Run out of Time

Procrastination, what a horrible thing,

He always latches on to me.

He's never been good,

A bad influence you might say,

"Worry about it later," he always says.

Later never happens.

It gets washed away by empty promises.

Promises that never get full-filled.

Time and time again, it happens,

Until time eventually catches up to me.

"Never again," my mind says,

But I know in my heart

It will happen again.

"You never learn," says my mind,

Maybe I'm addicted to the rush I feel

When I run out of time.

Days, weeks, months, years,

They all fly by,

And my task stays forever undone.

"Stop listening to him," says my mind,

He's a temptation and I always cave.

One day, I will listen to my mind,

When Procrastination dies,

I will be free of him,

Free of my shackles,

But if he runs out of time,

What will happen then?

Will he come back the next day?

Will he destroy Motivation?

Will she die along with my ideas?

What will I do then?

When I run out of time.
