Waiting, <br />But what am I waiting for? <br />A knight on a white horse, <br />Or, maybe, a happy ending. <br /> <br />I wait for him to get home, <br />Just so we can talk a few minutes, <br />Before he falls asleep without goodbye. <br /> <br />I wait for the timing to be right, <br />So I can pack my boxes, <br />And leave in that truck. <br /> <br />I wait for my family to accept, <br />The way I live my life, <br />And who I choose to love. <br /> <br />I wait to put my notice in, <br />And tell my boss to shove it, <br />As I walk out the front door. <br /> <br />I wait for a few weeks more, <br />Until I recieve that paper, <br />And college is over. <br /> <br />I wait to take that last breath, <br />As I leave this body, <br />And see what's on the other side. <br /> <br />I spend so much time waiting, <br />It seems like half my life goes by, <br />Just sitting here, waiting... <br /> <br />What I wait for every day, I am not totally sure, <br />For all I know, I'm waiting for my life to finally begin, <br />So here I will stay, still waiting, until I find what I am waiting for.<br /><br />Michele Weston<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waiting-161/
