Waiting Poem by CRYSTAL B. SMITH

Waiting...Waiting for my true love, waiting for that once in a lifetime feeling.

Waiting...Waiting for my time to show no fear and stand up against them.

Waiting...Waiting for the feeling of emptiness and the cutting and bleeding to stop.

Waiting...Waiting for the voices in my head to stop, for I have a headache and need medicine.

Waiting...Waiting for them to look at me and for once be accepted into their world.

Waiting...Waiting for the perfect day and be happy for myself and for everybody else to be serene.
