Waiting on the other side
Of an equal sign.
An equation left
Unsolved.
I'm supposed to be a sum
Her + Me = Eternity
Yet I'm still waiting
To be solved.
Left in a textbook,
Unnoticed and unloved.
Trying to ignore the groans,
The glares, the words.
Jotted down repeatedly,
Still no one sees,
I want out,
I want a life.
Forever hoping and believing
That my real question will be answered.
I'm left as a problem,
Impossible to solve.
I lay on this piece of paper,
Eager to know,
If I'm true,
Or hopelessly false.
So I'm waiting on the other side
Of an equal sign.
And equation left
I solved.
I'm sitting and wondering
If there's anyone home.

Yes.
I can even make maths depressing.
