Waiting In the Wings

They watch, they wait
to see my fate.
never adding nor subtracting
hauntingly and numb.
They wait in the wings
of indifference 
to announce my outcome.

I saw your blog, Vicki. I hope you're well. It's my first time reading your work so I'll leave a comment for each one I read. :) This poem resonates really well with my now. I can say this is my current anthem and that what you have written feels like I found a true friends who understands.
