Lost in an alphabet jungle. 
Encircling page numbers, 
Decorating...

I promise I will do it then
That's when!...

Surplus Kirby’s dance
Computer screens digest your time
And spit out Kirby’s.

This girl next to me
Likes writing concrete poems
(I am wasting time).

Who really can’t stop playing games

The invaluable dream you had in mind
Yesterday, you said you would take steps on achieving it tomorrow,
Yesterday's tomorrow has come today, so you still postpone it to tomorrow.

Mirror mirror on the wall 
Please tell me why I always fall
When I try to do something that will build me up 
Then suddenly lose motivation and zeal for it all 

So many pursuits  were met halfway 
I tried to learn skills but procrastination domes my way 
Or suddenly I'm...

There is a hammer on my keyboard
Taking me hostage
Reminding me of something I wanted to do
Yesterday but did not get around to it

I stare at it, and glare at it,
Angry beyond belief.

and yet, there they are,...
