Projected project

My mind rejects

As if it’s a speck

the due date is next Tuesday 

Sounds like else’s business

Project at east while I’m at west

Don’t feel real, like wiz, myth


Next and next day arrives

Perplexing text feels disguised

Project says, I have more time

Although after while,

Notification will chime

Conviction of ill crime


Last day to work

Last day to lurk

On the internet, I duck

To avoid the work

Already nighttime, 11:30 PM

The right time to DM

To my friends

Couple of minutes then it ends

Then it comes back like a fiend


Finally, finally

Proud of myself

Started the itinerary

After the passing of hour twelfth

Stop with the hocus pocus and the ruckus

It’s time to focus

My eyes on fire

Mind tries to evacuate this ire

Not a drill, it’s dire

Supposed to be five hours,

Finished in two

Just before my sleepiness towers

I submit it soon


Brazen procrastination

‘Cause, even pro’s crass in nature

This was inspired by how I feel academic pressure in school. Even though many try to hide it, I'm sure many can relate to me on how I feel.
