Waiting and wondering,
Expectation and uncertainty
Choke me gently.
I sit silently,
My thoughts crawl around the room…
What is this day to me?
What is tomorrow?
Will it bring what I’ve prayed for?
Or perhaps today will prove relieving?
What is to become
Of the dreams that I have
-Of the hope I’m afraid to be feeling?
I am frightened to dream,
For whenever I do,
More often than not, it doesn’t come true.
And so I am scared
To dream of this too,
Cause nothing means more to me
