Fighting my demons
And I hold the ball
First rule is realisation
Follows as, so as it goes
Ever so often, too often
On reflection in thoughts
I sit and stare, I wonder
A thousand list comes to mind
Of mountains to climb
And some are expedient
Some stands as the block works
For castles to be built with
And I project
My desire and ambitions
Seen on road maps blue print
This would be the definition of me
But ever so often
Like nightmare on Groundhog day
Procrastination seems to find me
Get the better of me, ever so often
Just before I take the plunge
Stack on me like a leach with a course
Sending me under anaesthetic reactions
And that is me gone for the week, amnesia
Forward time on slow productivity
There I am still with wish list
Of mountains course to climb in ambition
To think I never moved an inch, too often
So Monday morning comes again
Filled with vim and forward thinking
This time this week, excitement
I shall bring the bells home
Hoping I stay awake, long enough through the week
Avoiding the roads with land mines stack
Where procrastination of leach men stand
Oh I see you lurking in the corner, ever so often
And I hold the ball
First rule is realisation
Follows as, so as it goes
Ever so often, too often
On reflection in thoughts
I sit and stare, I wonder
A thousand list comes to mind
Of mountains to climb
And some are expedient
Some stands as the block works
For castles to be built with
And I project
My desire and ambitions
Seen on road maps blue print
This would be the definition of me
But ever so often
Like nightmare on Groundhog day
Procrastination seems to find me
Get the better of me, ever so often
Just before I take the plunge
Stack on me like a leach with a course
Sending me under anaesthetic reactions
And that is me gone for the week, amnesia
Forward time on slow productivity
There I am still with wish list
Of mountains course to climb in ambition
To think I never moved an inch, too often
So Monday morning comes again
Filled with vim and forward thinking
This time this week, excitement
I shall bring the bells home
Hoping I stay awake, long enough through the week
Avoiding the roads with land mines stack
