Book of Poetry 2

Waiting and Then Quitting

No one thinks about

How we go through most

Of our lives waiting

And quitting.

We sit down

In a small waiting room.

We're expecting something,

But we're enraged when there's nothing.

So then we quit

And we no longer try

Or wait for anything.

We just feel the sting.

We pout in a corner,

Back to waiting for

Someone to comfort us,

But no one does.

Then we quit again,

And we say, "Let everyone

Know how much I loved them."

And send ourselves to our doom.

We always quit

Because it's human

Nature, and we-

We are human down to the tee.
