Waiting

I keep waiting for something to happen,

waiting to feel sick, feel pain, be annoyed

I keep waiting for something to happen;

waiting to wake up thin, be on my way.

I keep waiting for something to start,

Like a jack in the box will pop up and yell "Go"

But I failed to realize that I won't hear him...

I'm already too far down the track.

I keep waiting

waiting for a door to open or a switch to flip, a starting gun to sound,

but I seem to be forgetting the gun sounded weeks ago.

I keep waiting for movement

but I woke this morning to realize

I've started counting the quality of my days in light of future endeavors,

the quantity of my days in light of decades to come....

I've been waiting for someone to do something....

SILLY ME,

I'VE BEEN DOING IT ALL ALONG.
