Why do I do this to myself?
Creating unnecessary stress,
Undesirable pressure.
I can set my own deadlines,
On my own terms.
Yet, why do I feel so guilty
When I miss my own timeframe.
It is kind of ironic really,
As "time" in reality is nothing but an abstract invention.
And "reality" is all about being in the moment.
