Monologue

So much stuff to do, so many responsibilities to keep
I just want to stay in bed, I just want to sleep
This is my monologue due in an hour
To write up a piece in time would be a superpower
The prompt is to write about anything, anything I want
It could be the last movie I watched, or even my favorite restaurant
I’m sitting here craving food
Looking for anything to put me in the mood
I need to dig deep to figure out what to write
Because I’m staring at a few words right now, rest of the page still white
Looking around my room for a topic to inspire me
I need some content, so I’m opening up my TV
I keep stalling for time, I really need to focus
Or else I’m just going to end up writing 2 minutes worth of bogus
I think about what I ate in the last few days
Can’t write about fish or my sandwich with mayonnaise
I try to picture if I did anything great
Recently, I’ve just been sleeping in late
I really need to think of a subject, I find my family to talk to
Damn I need to hurry up, I have 30 minutes before this is due
Oh no my battery is running low
If it dies, I won’t have a monologue for FRO
I’m really procrastinating, is this the last thing I need to complete?
It is, ok, good job I deserve a treat
I have those mini chocolates sitting in my fridge
And in my closet, I have those cookies from Pepperidge
I don’t have time to choose one, so why not both
And maybe a cup of milk too, it’s healthy for my growth
So I’m sitting there eating a mini Kit Kat bar
And I’m running out of time to submit this for freshmen seminar
To see if I missed anything, I do a quick homework review
Doing this English reading, and for math, finding revenue
Now that I did all these things, I have a clear mind
I just want to go to bed, and fully unwind
It’s been a long productive day, and I have no reason to pout
Except for the fact, I still have nothing to write about
