Procrastination

This habit haunts me.

My head slowly start to ache, leaving my mind blank.
It’s like a sickness I can easily cure, but choose not to.

Why?
Why do I do this to myself?
I can already see the circled “F” smudged on my paper in red pen.

I frantically stare at the bright computer screen.
Hoping words and paragraphs will magically appear.
Instead, a small, black line flashes.
Each flash feels like a stab.
And still, no words come to mind.


The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this poem because at times I am not the best student. The feeling of procrastinating is definitely one of the worst feelings to have. I thought to try and creatively write about what exactly is felt. I hope teens can connect with this poem and enjoy it because I know I am not the only one who procrastinates...
