Once again still awake, and it’s only 2:00
I have four more hours ‘til the sky turns blue.
From dawn ‘til dusk, now dusk ‘til dawn
Another sleepless night, another day has gone.
As I lie awake thinking how my life needs to change,
I’m taken over by feelings of guilt and of shame.
Why can’t I just do the things that I said?
My mind has grown weak, I can’t get ahead.
I’ll set my goals high and I’m going real strong,
But I’m sure you can guess, this happens not long.
There’s always some reason that gets in the way
So I think “I will finish it, just not today”
Then the next thing I know, several weeks have gone by
When asked ‘bout the progress, sometimes I might lie.
To bide some more time to finalize that task.
Now the pressure is on, for no help can I ask.
I sink in my chair as disappointment sets in
Wondering why procrastination has won once again?
Never like this before, was always on the ball
Got everything done, and could stand up tall.
‘til depression took over and ruined it all
Can’t stand on 2 feet, I slip and I fall.
So when the sun starts to rise and the new day begins,
I’ll pray “God please don’t let me fail once again”.
