open my eyes
in bed i lay
maybe I'll do that one thing -
yes! that's the thing I'll do today

that thing was the same thing
that i wanted to do yesterday
and the day before that (and before that, and before that)
going three weeks back

but today - yes today
today will be the day
that i will finally do that thing
so i can put the thought away

but as I'm about to walk out the door
laziness drags my motivation to the floor
that one thing will just have to wait and so,
i sigh and say "maybe tomorrow"
