Waiting

This big beautiful world
	it pains me not to see it.
	Instead I sit here in a room 
	with the walls closing in
	on the only things
	I've ever really known.
	The unknown both 
	scares and excites me.
	I long to go on an adventure
	with no real destination
	but a mission.
	But still I sit here 
	waiting.
	Waiting for the freedom and courage to do so
	The waiting is what kills me.
