Procrastinator

I've alway been one,

and a good one, in fact!

I've overslept, binge-watched shows,

taken plenty naps.

Guilt would swell 

up my throat

and tingle behind my ears.

My cheeks would burn

and red they'd be 

from stares from curious peers.

And now I've learned 

to turn procrastination absolutely

inside out.

I've forced myself to wake early

and think, What's life all about?

I'm still partially lazy

and enjoy a nap or two,

but I'm more motivated than before 

and I know there is nothing I can't do.
