Patience -

Inside, my patience is razor thin

Cutting me open from within

I feel this burden reaching through my skin

With wait comes worries — that’s the perception

I beg for patience until my mouth runs dry

Just like the rivers that rolled through my eyes

(Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!)

For your turn!

It’s your life if you want to burn it

(Make! Make! Make! Make!)

Me stop wanting!

I build higher while the bricks are falling

Is it so wrong

To want the future in the present

If I wait too long

I’ll never get a chance to make things different

Why can’t I be patient?

I did not choose the current state I’m in

Trying to write my story starting at the end

Trying to map my path before the lines begin

In an endless circle that I’m running in

I beg to have it until my mouth runs dry

Like my blood while I just wait and die

(Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!)

For your turn!

It’s your life if you want to burn it

(Make! Make! Make! Make!)

Me stop wanting!

I build higher while the bricks are falling

Is it so wrong

To want the future in the present

If I wait too long

I’ll never get a chance to make things different

Why can’t I be patient?

Why can’t I be patient?
