Waiting

Life is full of upsetting ideas
Of hopes and dreams fading
But perhaps the worst idea of all
Is in the process of waiting

Waiting for the news
That could be bad or good
Terrible thoughts running through your mind
Even though you have done all you could

It's like you are watching your life
Through a solid glass wall
And you can't control what happens
Can't catch them when others fall

You pace across the room
Waiting for the result of this wait
You cannot know if it will be ok
Or if it will be news you will hate.

Sometimes it turns out for the best
And you live in a sense of relief
Then other times it brings depression
And you must live in grief

Some people exclaim
That it is worst to lose your dreams
But I must say, I disagree,
Waiting is worse, it seems.
