Procrastination, Games, and Life

Procrastination?

What is that I've never heard of such a thing.

But maybe because I'm to busy procrastinating to hear it,

I am mike,

I am not a poet, a leader, a storyteller, or an academic,

I am a dreamer, a gamer, a man of many things,

I would rather let life pass me by and sit in my game,

Than to deal with the drama of reality.

It is not that I don't like reality,

It is that reality is too busy,

With school and work

Facebook and friends

Learning and imagining

Are they even one in the same

I love my games because it allows my mind to run wild

From building empires in Minecraft to taming creatures in Pokemon

Games are a way I can re envision my world

They allow kids to show their creative side something education removed long ago.

So I stand before you asking,

What is procrastination,

I'd rather play my game and imagine.

My life seems to pass by but in my one life span I have lived dozens of others.
