Procrastination


By Pesha Leah Azoulay

Procrastinate.
Oh, how I hate,
when I just wait,
and do things late.

Is this my fate,
to make others wait,
just because I procrastinate?

Why do I have this trait?
I speculate,
I'm trying to create,
a childish state,
where no one berates,
and no one dictates,
everyone just tolerates.
Kids should know love, not hate,
and people who appreciate,
that everything they do is great.

At any rate,
to set things straight:
subconsciously, I'm trying to recreate,
that carefree state.

And now that translates
to something so innate:
I procrastinate!

But, how do I abate
this habit I hate
and stop making others wait,
by doing things late?

Can you relate?
Can I change my fate?

What A Spirit!
My Goodness maybe what some call procrastination is a bit too overrated...
According to me, dear Pesha, you did not procrastinate to THINK these most creative unique mindfull thoughs and be your own pure truthfull self which so few of us ever accomplish in their long wasted lives.
May Hashem comfort Pesha's family.

I send my condolences to Pesha's grieving family. We have lost a wonderful writer and a beautiful woman whose time with us has ended all too quickly.

A difficult thing to overcome
I procrastinate too, and I work daily to overcome this trait.
My condolences to Pesha Leah Azoulay OBM family and may her soul go directly on its path and with much much much merit and brochos. May we see the MOshiach speedily in our days.
