The Person Next Door...

To limit your breath...to just wait...
Holding on to every word...
How old are you...like age...
This limit will change...
How are you at waiting...
Or waiting for the next word...
Like a kid...a hero you would...
Or some one who you think is...
A movie star,just in a band...
The guy next door...or the girl...
How about...just that big bank acount...
Limits your waiting doesn't...
So don't hold your breath...
Unless to got it...for they are just the same...
You and I have this inside...
A star,a member,the person next door...
That is what we all are...
And sometimes...holding on to every word...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
