Have You Been Waiting For This? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Have you been waiting for this?
With lips twisted, head tilted...
And hands on defiant hips.
Have you been waiting for this?
To prove to everyone,
Your consciousness is slipping...
From your grip.
Have you?
Given any thoughts,
To repaying an onslaught of consequences.

Have you been waiting for this?
Someone to expose a candid sentiment.
To then criticize the content you despise.
With a taking the opportunity to deny,
A truth to you spoken but wont realize...
Was meant to do and for you to hear.
But your own lies you've prepare,
Are identified to recognize.
Have you been waiting for this?
Just for the anticipated attention you'd get.

Have you been waiting for this?
Stripping away someone's credibility...
To fit your need to beef up a slump done,
In a self confidence you wish but have none.
For an ego massaged the odds are against.
Then to show those observing,
The revealing of your mental illness witnessed.
Is this what you're waiting to validate to get?

Have you been waiting for this?
With lips twisted, head tilted...
And hands on defiant hips.
Have you been waiting for this?
Have you been waiting,
To have your mind confirmed unfit?
Have you?
Well your wait with wishes,
Have arrived to be affirmed.
Congratulations!
