Each fleeting streak
In every tide
As insomnia sweeps upon me.
And for every second I look away
My mind as calm as a storming sea.
And for every moment I look away
Comes another sunrise, another day.
When I'm woken from this paralyzed state
Aggravated to this degree
Another wave washes over me
Of distraction and ADHD.
Even now as I write my masterpiece
It's only a matter of time before I will be found
To have hidden my bad habit
By a keyboard clicking sound.
The worst is yet to come when we realize
That the childhood routine has become a mental state
Overpowering our minds,
So that we don't graduate.
The semester is ending, do I or don't I dare?
My parents say "it's common," yet somehow I truly care
Because it happens to the best of us, or so they tend to say
But procrastination pounds my mind
Every night and every day.
