Waiting

Waiting, waiting and waiting
It’s like a drug to put you to sleep
A drug that will try and strain your confidence
A journey that will stress your mind and muscles as well.
Indeed waiting has a few friends
They say patience pays but pains, but waiting
Will ring your nerves like a bell
It tolls it’s sound through your nerves and
Often you feel there is bad or good news in it.
Many will see the suspense waiting orchestrates
The drama will unfold before your eyes at a wreckingly 
Slow pace that has you almost screaming for help.
What a waste waiting can be especially when
You wait, wait and wait and wait.
When friends take a walk with you
You will have to wait for them on the road
A fun way to enjoy their company but
Not when you have to wait forever
Because they are not children you are going 
To carry off the ground like a pet that is scurrying away.
Waiting is often a price everyone won’t see,
To wait, wait and wait.
