Waiting To Exhale
Waiting To Exhale
I... Can't... Breathe...
Not Physically...
But Emotionally & Spiritually...
Because I can't live, realistically,
Without looking lurkers,
Lurking, nitpically?
I've BEEN Waiting To Exhale,
As life tries to choke me out..
As silly tricks...
Try to smoke me out...
As year after year,
my candles try to
BLOW ME OUT!
And, I've BEEN waiting to exhale,
but someone always thinks...
their breath is
more important than mine...
That my time
has less priority than their time...
So I can continue
Waiting To Exhale...
So that they might do it now...
So that they can again make the vow...
That If I Don't Mind...
I Can Breathe Later....
If for now, I'll just continue
Waiting To Exhale.
