Still I Wait
For each day spent dreaming
I could be making my dreams realities.
For each day spent hoping to be better.
I could be bettering the hope of the world before me.
Yet, still I wait.
Waiting behind a line so thin, so easy to cross.
Yet I can’t pick up my feet, no matter how badly I want to traverse.
What’s stopping me? Who is preventing me, but myself?
I see nothing before me but the sky above my head and the ground under my feet.
Yet, still I wait.
What could possibly more fulfilling that defeating myself?
Leaving my old mindset upon a shelf.
Moving forward each day, anew.
Every day looking back, appreciating how you grew.
Knowing deep inside that you have grown since yesterday.
It leaves me with one question left to say
Still I wait?
As the shores crumble to the sea
As towering architecture overlook the race of mankind
As mighty volcanoes rupture the earth.
I wait no longer.
