Cursor blinking at me

As I sit wondering what to write

Typing out of sheer boredom

And avoidance of my work

Homeward bound to stuff my face

Before coming back to the very place that I just left

15 minutes till the bus with nothing to do but debate getting on it

I need to eat I know

But the truth is it might be easier and more productive to stay here

I can wait until 9:00 to eat

As long as I do my homework now

The very work that I am avoiding

I have English and History and math

Which isn’t that much if you think about it

If I get it done later I can do other things

More enjoyable things

No not that get your head out of the gutter

I could instead of homework watch TV and movies

Then sleep and get up in time to take a shower

And start the day again the slow progression of days turning into weeks

Into months

Is boring and repetitive

The only thing that breaks it up is stress

So 10 minutes until the bus now

Still unsure if getting on it

Is the right way to go

If I go home my dog will be happy

I will be in a better mood

But less homework will get done and although the only thing

That I have due tomorrow is my math it will still be annoying

In an effort to keep my grades up

Perhaps I should stay here

But that will only do me good if I do my homework

Which would mean this poem has to end

And I am rather enjoying writing it

Either way the poem has to end

With 7 minutes till the bus and still no idea what to do

I end the poem in an effort

To make myself decide

So that I can make my decision

Instead of the decision making me.

In case anyone cares I wrote this before practice today and I did end up staying at school and doing my homework. I have late practice again tomorrow, but I plan to go home and eat first.
