What Am I Waiting For?

Sitting alone. Waiting. What am I waiting for? My heart is beating fast. But at the same time, it feels like one hundred weights are on my chest. Pushing down on me. I'm breathing. But all I can hear is the clock ticking. I feel the urge to leave. What am I waiting for? I can't move. My body feels full of sand. My skin feels hot, but I'm freezing. As I stare blankly at the wall, I think to myself. What am I waiting for?
