Made Whole By A Half
As I sit at my desk I look at my clock
It hits midnight and I know it’s gonna be a long night
I look down and realize
No words
Half done
Nothing
Shouldn’t have waited until last minute
I think back to my previous actions
Hallow promises to stop waiting
As I look at my paper I hold off
I think to myself
We are all defined by a number
I break down
Cry
Scream
Throw my bag
And realize we did not do all of this for ourselves
We did it for a piece of paper
All the work and frustration
Just to make a good looking resume
I never wanted to do all that
But now I did and as I look back on that piece of paper
It hits me and I see that I did something
So the clock hits one and I look back down at the paper and understand
There’s more than a GPA and a Score behind this meaningless piece of home work
It teaches you not to procrastinate
And not to freak out when in hard times
This little piece of 11x8inch paper makes you whole by only having half done
