The bills are due, The sun is out
My job sucks, these trees are a beautiful evergreen.
I'm lost in a senseless awareness
Of myself.
Staring down an empty path,
Filled with ambition and self doubt
I want to move forward
Yet I feel restrained,
Limited to these four walls in my head.
Escaping reality, to escape to this realism.
I'd rather get lost, losing myself
Then get lost inside of my pain.
The worries and echoes of yesterday
Are just another wave away.
I'll move forward, With fear
Knowing nothing that lays ahead.
Yet fear of that is better then none,
Or fear of fearing doubt.
I'd rather get lost in this beautiful day
Watching the world pass me by.
Drifting away to a happier place

I too procrastinate but the only way to get ahead is put one foot in front of the other...None of us like to deal with the unknown...
