Why do I do this to myself?
Gone way past waiting until the last minute
Gone way past days past due
Why do I push myself to avoid
that which I need to complete and achieve today
Why procrastinate to fail
So many easier ways to fail
Why be so indecisive
If you had decided, the matter would be done
Why do I do this to myself?
Almost forcing others to chase me down
Why am I doing this to myself?
Holding all back when I can be so much better
When I am really greater
Why don't I be my admirable self?
Why do I seem to seek a slacker more and more?
Is the tempo really slowing down?
No, it is just getting choppy and stormy
Your boat will capsize
It will sink
But you can prevent this tragedy
Why do you do this to yourself?
Hold back, unsure of all you do
Why don't you charge on with full power, full speed, total efficiency?
Just do it.
Just go.
Surprise yourself and all those you know
