Why does the gratification
of now over then
control me so more than the afters at end
Stay awake on my phone
till the avian choir
not fearing tomorrow
for current desires
putting off work
till it's well overdue
then staying up late,
typing way after two
it's two thiry now,
I get up in four hours
I'll be tired by then,
made my own morning sour
Putting off bills
so I don't have to pay
Just to have the cost triple
at the end of the day
It's like time is a score
that I have to beat
even if I know
of my certain defeat
Playing my games
while neglecting my laundry
my current wants whisper,
their voice silk and sultry
staying in bed
till I've no time to get up
just to bask in the warmth
of my blanket's warm hug
I act like a creature
that can't understand
the notion of planning,
so I hurt by my hand
I need to grow up
and break out the cycle
But I'll do that tomorrow
Now's pleasure's more vital
