These days I wait for you,
as if time is all I have.
My life is passing
But im stuck in the lobby
Wanting a chance.

How much longer will I wait?
because i feel my resolve
thin and wasting.
Not finished.

I'd break if I could.
Scream, cry, and kick.
Even if the branch is burning
From both sides
I can't stop; I won't.
I'll be a coward no more.

Ill stand up, like I should.
Say no more of this schtick,
My life is turning,
And I'll weather the tides,
But even if some things don't,
I'm ready to mend what you tore.

Can't feel reality over the bubble in my chest.
Or is it that reality exists inside the bubble?
What if I'm waiting for it to pop?
And when it does I'll feel real again.
Really though am I ready?
Do I think I can handle it all?

Some days it feels like I'm still there.
Lost in the ridiculousness we called us.
Listening to the ocean breeze crescendo over here,
I barely remember what was all the fuss.

Something about what I said or did I'm sure.
Always messing up; what I did best.
Was making me your ***** the cure?
Felt like it, say what you want to the rest.

Why did I think you were worth it?
Manipulate me more, baby, you know you want it.
Put down the glass of ice water and sit.
Exhausted with all of your childish fits.

If cupid's got a gun,
then I'm *******,
ice cream in the sun,
lost the battle before it's begun.

And if all this is just for fun,
then I don't want to play,
from it, I will surely run,
at least until the game is done.

Who is this God?
about whom I constantly hear?
is he all-loving?
is he even here?

Does he stand by,
some say very near,
to watch what you do,
Will he be there to cheer?

If so, does he watch?
when we break down in fear?
while we struggle to survive?
all with an unwavering stare?

Who is this God person?
A boat captain that doesn't steer?
A being that stands and waits,
watching from the rear?

The last word has been written.
My pencil, dotting the I.
Excitement is fitting,
but I end with a sigh.

I've let my self down,
my potential; a waste.
It ends with a frown
and a tear on my face.
