14. Procrastination. If you had more time, you’d be able to put it off longer. What do you put off to the last moment? Why? Tell a story about how you just barely got something done in time – or didn’t.

What a World It Is

what a world it is
when you don't get a first chance
when i'm ready to give all i've got to
and you don't even look
don't worry i'll be fine
i wish i could lie eaisily like that
but the truth is i'm used to disapproval
and not being accepted
but those times left a whole
one right in the middle of my soul
but when the lucky day comes around
and someone talks to me
i've never met before
it feels like a patch has been made
but it never lasts
because i grow attached
and nobody shares those feeling with me
and they start to tell me to leave
not very nicely at all
so yeah i can take it
but i have so much to give
if you don't want it
i'll keep looking
but i want you to rember one thing
more is less is not allways true
when someone is prepared to give all they can
just to make you feel better than you are right now
and if going away will complete that goal
i guesse i can tear myself more
if it means i can help you heal what you feeling right now
