Each fleeting streak

In every tide

As insomnia sweeps upon me.

And for every second I look away

My mind as calm as a storming sea.

And for every moment I look away

Comes another sunrise, another day.

When I'm woken from this paralyzed state

Aggravated to this degree

Another wave washes over me

Of distraction and ADHD.

Even now as I write my masterpiece

It's only a matter of time before I will be found

To have hidden my bad habit

By a keyboard clicking sound.

The worst is yet to come when we realize

That the childhood routine has become a mental state

Overpowering our minds,

So that we don't graduate.

The semester is ending, do I or don't I dare?

My parents say "it's common," yet somehow I truly care

Because it happens to the best of us, or so they tend to say

But procrastination pounds my mind

Every night and every day.
