Procrastination

I have time

The teacher writes on the board

Our scribbling mirrors her movements

A new assignment, due tomorrow

The order has been given

I have time

School ends, we are all relieved

Everyone runs home and starts their work

but not me, I'll eat something first

What does it matter?

I have all evening

I have time

My favorite show comes on

Two hours of Scrubs, I can't pass this up

My book bag sits in the corner, unopened

It's not a big deal, I have all night

I have time

3:00 a.m. I snap awake

I forgot to do the assignment

I look at my schedule, Block day tomorrow

I think I'll just go back to sleep

It doesn't matter, I have all studyhall

I don't have time

Thirty minutes left in study hall

My assignment stares at me, unfinished

I furiously write, racing the clock

Each tick increases my heart rate

Five minutes to go, panic sets in

I put the period on my last sentence, the bell rings

My friends ask why I wait?

I can think of only one answer

Why does it matter?

I had time 

Author's Note

Not my best, I was bored and just kinda wrote it on the fly and posted it.

I like it a lot! It's kind of funny in a way. Mostly the end part, about staring at a blank paper!
I can just image this whirlwind of activity at at the end of it your facing a blank paper!
I think that this could be turned into a song :)
Very cool!
