Wait until this mess is over,

And and the screams fade.

Replaced with fulfillment

And a sense of a calm serenade.

When you have it figured out.

And you stop the hurt and hope.

What happens then?

When there is nothing left to wonder,

And all your problems are solved.

A sense of emptiness is left.

You still don't see reason to live.

You then realize you took it for granted.

That lost feeling you once resented,

You now crave.

You had so much to live for,

To explore,

To encourage others.

But all those opportunities,

You thoughtlessly turned down.

So many things you didn't notice

That kept you around.

If this day comes

There is no turning back.
