Why is there never enough time?

I need to do homework and do chores,

but I want to watch Netflix and Youtube.

I try to isolate myself at a coffee shop to 

motivate me to do my work, but it is futile.

My desire overcomes my sense of logic,

leaving me impotent and sinful.

Why am I so lazy?

At the end of the day, I can’t remember 

a single productive action I did. With the 

scarce time I had, I spent it on the screen.

This is really bad; my brain is deteriorating.

I put my phone down and the world becomes

blurry. I stare at the ceiling till morning arise.

Should I go to school?

I drag myself to the car and think of the reasons 

why I should just ditch, then I see a billboard at a 

red light. My eyes wander, expecting a McDonald’s ad. 

The sign says, “Life has to be balanced: happy and sad. Sunshine 

all the time creates a desert. You need rainy days.” I laugh, racing to 

school before the pleasure fades.
