Waiting

Waiting, waiting, that's all I do. I wait in pain; I wait in darkness. I wait alone for what I'm unsure of but here I am, so to understand where I am, what I am, you must understand what keeps me here, why there is no escape. It's not that I don't want it, but it's not allowed, so again I wait to maybe see the sun to hear a loved one call my name to feel wanted in a world that seems to leave me behind, so here I am waiting for something anything.
