Procrastination

Staring at my books, but they're staring back, Conversations in my head, it's like an endless chat. "Hey, you gonna study?" my friend's voice chimes, "Nah, not today," I reply, like a hundred times. I wanna hit the books, but my mind's a mess, Caught in this funk, can't shake off the stress. Got a to-do list longer than a mile, But all I wanna do is chill for a while. Open up the book, but my phone's giving stares, One sentence in, and it feels like it dares. With notifications buzzing, it's a digital call, Can't seem to focus, like I'm bound to fall. I wanna hit the books, but my mind's a mess, Caught in this funk, can't shake off the stress. Got a to-do list longer than a mile, But all I wanna do is chill for a while. I tell myself to focus, but it's all in vain, Every attempt to study feels like a chain. Stuck in my own head, can't break free from the doubt, It's a solo struggle, I can't figure out. Just need a B to get a B, that's all I need, Time for a nap, feels like I've got class indeed. Confident in what I know, feeling fine, But as I hit the books, panic grips my mind. I wanna hit the books, but my mind's a mess, Caught in this funk, can't shake off the stress Got a to-do list longer than a mile, But all I wanna do is chill for a while. (Bridge) Desperately scoop the knowledge, again and again, Maybe it'll stick, despite the strain. I guess I'll be okay with a C, C is for passing, it's enough for me. (Outro) Why do I always wait until it's too late? Why do I put myself in this state? I don't know, I don't know, Caught in this cycle, can't seem to let go. I tell myself I'll never do this, only to be disappointed again.
