Waiting
Why am I always waiting? At least it feels that way to me.
Waiting for the next thing to happen;never happy to just be.
Waiting for a Thursday-my one evening out each week
Or waiting for a Friday to recharge my batteries, so to speak.
Waiting for the summer,when life feels better anyway,
Days out with the family, maybe even a holiday.
Even at night in my subconscious, when everyone is sleeping,
I'm waiting for the alarm to go off,with that really annoying beeping!
Oh,and one last thing I'm waiting for is for people to stop messing with me
Because I'm alright with no contact,so please just leave me be.
Each time you message then block, I can never have my say,
So adding it to this poem seems to be the only way!

I like this. It reminds me that life can just...be. How about the the entire world just slow down, and enjoy a quiet evening, i dunno, sitting around the knitting basket and...filking?

Hi E
Thankyou so much for your feedback, and yes,we definitely need to slow down. I did need to Google filking though,because I hadn't heard of it before, lol. It sounds like an interesting pastime.🙂

I like your spontaneous style! Even waiting in your subconscious. Never thought of it that way, but it's true.

Dear S,
It really does feel like we’re not wishing our lives away but waiting them away. I can relate to a lot of your “waits”. Especially the Friday’s to recharge. Cheers to renewed energy. Terrific poem. H 🌷

A timely reminder. It's so easy to think things will be OK/ I'll be fulfilled/ we'll all be happy when X Y Z happens. I guess we all need to try to find contentment in the moment, and stop to smell the roses a bit more. I enjoyed this.

Hi Ellie,
Thankyou for taking the time to read my poem. And yes, the trouble with waiting for the next thing to happen means we often miss what's happening right here and now. Maybe we should change our way of thinking.
Glad you liked what you read.
