All Throughout The Day

I have an appointment today,

Put the washing away,

Check on a friend,

Work is driving me round the bend!

Oh shit;

I haven't finished this,

It's not perfect, yet,

I better make sure it's spotless,

Do I look good in this?

Am I good enough today?

Out of time! out of time!

That doesn't look good over there,

I'm going to record my song,

Nope!

I'm not good enough, yet,

Quick!

Get the house spotless,

My friend's coming over,

Dinner isn't good enough,

I'm not perfect enough,

That person likes me? Always

suspicious!

No way am I publishing yet,

My story isn't brilliant,

Damn!

Now,

I've forgotten to take the bins out,

I'm too busy for any thing;

Procrastinate...,

Procrastinate...,

Let's procrastinate some more,

It can wait,

Too many spelling mistakes,

No perfect words!

Wait all day...,

Wait another day...,

Finally!

Hit publish at the end of the month;

Now,

I have too much housework,

Everything else can wait,

It's the end of the world!

Cancel...,

Cancel...,

Cancel all plans,

Fuck!

I'm a very bad person,

Don't come near me,

I'm horrible because I haven't done

anything right;

I must not go out today,

Too much to do,

I'm sorry but I can't go out with you,

I must do this first,

There is no time to look after me.

I'd have more time,

If I didn't have runaway thoughts,

All throughout the day!
