Procratinators lament

I did not forget

That was a lie

It's just that

It didn't feel right

And then,

I had so many other things to do

No, I did not do those things either

How can you do one thing

when there are so many others?

And then,

I did do that other thing

So I felt

I could take some time

Relax, not worry so much

Some time for myself

And then,

It felt weird

To do your thing after so much time

You'd ask, why wait so long?

And it would be embarrassing

To explain

Easier to just say I forgot, but

I did not forget

That was a lie

I never forget
