The Awesome Power of Procrastination

*Trigger Warning: self-harm The power of procrastination is so awesome that even though I have been without Internet access for several hours and I have things that I think I want to do, I have spent that time lying on top of my bed thinking about how I would do all the things I want to do if I were to do them. Very productive. I think that the ideas I have are worth so much more in my head, I can fetishize every negative feeling and pretend that it makes me special or interesting in some way.

Softly.
I feel, so clearly, the rawness of
My throat; I have cried for

But I could not possibly protect
Her.
She sits in the dark, where she will always sit.
Her cries quietly fading, her heart gradually growing
Cold.
Far beyond anyone's reach.
