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
