THE ART OF PROCRASTINATION
I have often wondered, and I have often thought,
That I have often delayed without there being any cause.
I often over think and I often codgitate,
Procrastinating over my procrastinations of the day.
Over thinking needlessly, postponed imagined pain.
Second guessing everything. Oh why must I delay?
I know that it's important so why do I delay?
I know that it's my only chance.
Hold on... I'm running away.
And what will happen if I fail?
Oh and what will people think?
And what if I have got it wrong?
... Maybe I'll rethink.
The point of all this pondering, is to try to tell myself
To never let a moment pass without giving me a chance.
"So what!" If people laugh.
"So what!" If I lay dashed.
At least I'll know within myself that I've given me a chance.
For now I'll live on with regret, every day,
And think about those who seem so far away.
What would have happened & where would I be?
Oh if only I'd...
If only indeed.

Tired of thinking about the "what ifs"
