Too lazy to study

In the realm of knowledge, with laziness in play, 

Procrastination, my plans in disarray. 

The test approaches, anxiety's on the rise, 

But I persist in idleness, to my own surprise.

I promise to myself, "Tomorrow, I'll begin,"

But tomorrow becomes today, and it's hard to win. 

An inner monologue of excuses I create, 

While time slips away, and knowledge slips through the gate.

With the clock ticking, I finally take a stand, 

Open up my books and notes, though it's not what I had planned. 

One hour is all I have, too late to turn away, 

But even so, I'll give it a shot, try to learn today.

Pages turn and knowledge flows, a lot to comprehend, 

A weary mind, struggling to ascend. 

Time slips away, but I try to persist, 

Hoping for a miracle, to assist.

Come test time, I regret my negligence, 

Knowing that laziness hindered my competence. 

But the lesson is clear, as bright as day, 

Procrastination only delays wisdom's array.

So I promise to myself, I'll change my way, 

Not let laziness lead me astray. 

Constant study, knowledge I'll embrace, 

For learning is the key to success's grace.
