THE HEIGHT OF DOING NOTHING
TRAPPED IN THE HOUSE DOING NOTHING
AND COMPLAINING HOWS EVERYTHING WRONG
MY MIND WASN’T AS CLEAR BEFORE
& NEITHER WAS IT STRONG
THE LITTLE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD
HAD LEFT ME IN DESPAIR
WHEN I WASN’T WORKING ON MY DREAMS
I DIDN’T FEEL FAIR
THERE ARE TIMES VERY OFTEN WHEN
I FEEL VERY INSPIRED
I SAY “I’M GONNA DO IT!”
MY WILL IS SET ON FIRE
BUT OH! THE DOUBT AND THE BLUES
SWEEP ME AGAIN
THEY SET ME UP TO FAIL
BEFORE I EVEN BEGIN
THE TEMPORARY PLEASURES JUST
COST ME A LOT
I WAS DROWN IN REGRET THAT
I DIDN’T GAVE A SHOT!
I DIDN’T KNEW BEFORE BUT
I DO KNOW NOW
THAT MASTERING THE MOMENT
LIFE IS ALL ABOUT

This poem resembles the thoughts going through the mind of a teenager when they have to choose between what they want to do VS. what needs to be done. It especially applies to those who wish to pursue a goal but obviously can’t because the ‘Badass villain’ named PROCRASTINATION kicks in every damn time!
