Nervous Poem by Christina J. Williams

You wait and wait like a kid waiting to open a present.

Your stomach fills with butterflies waiting to flutter.

When will it happen?

For you are getting nervous and tired of the fluttering.





The fluttering seems to get louder and you start getting out of control.

Then all of a sudden the fluttering stops then starts again.

You realize you can't control it like you can't control the sun rising and going down each day.

So instead relax and go with the flow.

For the thing you are waiting for will come soon.
