Anxious and Impatient

I am anxious and impatient

I wonder what happens after death

I hear the dripping water of a leaky faucet

I see the ripples and creases of a peaceful lake

I want someone to hold

I am anxious and impatient

I pretend that I live somewhere out of this world, like an alternate universe

I feel ill

I touch your stiff, brittle hands

I worry when people are lead towards disappointment

I cry when I am that disappointment

I am anxious and impatient

I understand that everyone has problems, we’re trying to get by

I say, ̈Take your time, and everything will be fine.¨

I dream that this world will eventually be rid of all the atrocious happenings

I try to get by

I hope I have a future in life

I am anxious and impatient
