Nothing...Yet Everything
I am not the kind of girl
To sit here, idle, with nothing to do
I have work to complete always
Yet I am unable to pick up my pencil this time
I say, I may
"Do it tomorrow"
But "tomorrow" seemed to be two weeks later
And I still have not completed my work
And I must complete my work
Or else I will not pass my class
And would come home to an angry mother
And a house full of disappointment
So there, while I am walking to class
I pick up my pencil and scribble some answers
Then, my teacher holds his hand out when I enter
And I hand him my paper
Proud of accomplishing a task fairly quickly,
I celebrate and continue to procrastinate
Only to find that when I get my paper back
I only got half right.
So I guess, I somehow became that girl
Who sat there idle, doing nothing
While having a world filled with things . . .
To accomplish
