Pitter patter.
The sand like rain falling down.
Trapped in an hourglass
Without a sound.

I'm slowly dying,
I'm gonna drown.

Panic.
Please calm down.

Why me?
More and more comes in
It's up to my knees.

How much more time are you gonna waste?
What will you do when it's up to your waist?

I look around for help but there's none to be found.
Oh no, it's almost up to my face.

I pound on the glass, I pound and I pound.
This isn't how I imagined the taste.
Why is no one around?!

This is what happens when you procrastinate.

Close my eyes and shut my mouth.
It's over my head.

Just a little more time. Please wait!
And now,
It's just a little too late.
Procrastination
