A Writer's Procrastination

Why don't you submit the piece,
now that it's complete,
why are you still dawdling
and dragging your two feet?


Why can't you just send the piece,
why do you contemplate,
why be unsure and insecure,
why still procrastinate?


Why do you make excuses,
when deep inside you feel,
that however small the feeling is,
the piece has some appeal?


Why can't you just submit the piece,
are you afraid to know it's fate?
you fear success as much as failure
so you again, procrastinate!
