The Waiting
I'm just waiting
Waiting for it to be over
I'm over all of it
Every bit of it
It makes me sick
It doesn't make me well
I'm just so over it, can't you tell
I'm just tired
Tired of trying
Tired of lying
Lying to myself that it gets better
But when
When will it be my turn
How much more must I endure
I'm anxious and insecure
This is the most uncertain puzzling piece of my life
I have no answers and I have no clue
No clue on whats next or what to do
I know what I want and what I expect
But there's no guarantees which makes me second guess
I've never been so torn between give up and keep going
I used to enjoy not knowing
So again, I'm just waiting
Sometimes I'm not even sure of what I'm waiting on
Never been so unsure, unclear, and I don't even know
About this poem
The inspiration for this poem came from an emotional moment I was having previously. I felt compelled to write about since I was unable to express my feelings in any other way.
