I hate waiting

It’s not a joke

It feels like dying

Wreathed in smoke

I hate waiting

Inspirations death

Loss of momentum

Steals my breath

I hate waiting

I know where to go

The sign was clear

Or, I thought so

I hate waiting

Now I second guess

Making the right choice?

Or starting a mess?

I hate waiting

Necessary or not

Others can let go

I’m one that gets caught

I hate waiting

It’s always been so

It’s not like is softens

Inevitability’s blow

I said I hate waiting

That’s telling a lot

But I still do it often

Believe it or not
