Procrastination

 

A best friend and an enemy

It makes me happy in the moment but it leaves waving effects;

It doesn’t know when to stop.

It consumes me until the trance is broken: I push it away but it comes crawling back.

During the moment it shines bright but then it ruins me.

It somehow casts a shadow over me: Only someone or something big can save me.

As it engulfs me I lose sight of reality. It’s just me and it.

I think it’s time it stopped.

I wrote this in my notes on my phone during the exam period and even though it's quite messy and odd I thought it would be appropriate to post it the day before I receive my GCSE results. I felt the need to write about procrastination but wasn't sure how so I just kept on writing, trying to describe what it does to me.

So good luck to anyone receiving GCSE results tomorrow.
