PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i'm a day behind

trying to catch up on my sleep

i'm walking around like i'm a zombie

like i'm some kind of creep



i'm a dollar short

i owe you, i owe everyone

i'm so in debt

i have no time for fun



i forgot my homework again

maybe i could do it in class

could i borrow some paper and a pen?

i really need to pass



i forgot to call you again

i hope you weren't expecting me

i'll try to come over when i can

but i'm not sure when that'll be



i'm an hour late

i guess it slipped my mind

i'll never make it there now

my watch must be behind



i ate a whole box of cookies

they were a few days old

i'd go outside to walk it off

but it looks like it might be getting cold



i keep saying i'll change

but i never do

i guess i must already know

it's probably too late to



i keep making excuses

for why i never try

i keep making promises

but i always lie
