WAITING

I made a new friend today,

He said his name is anxiety,

He had a voice that sounded like patience but his presence made me feel very uneasy,

He introduced me to these rainbow colored creatures he called butterflies and for some reason they decided to make a home in my belly,

And each time you acrossed my mind they'd flap around violently and that seemed to rattle anxiety,

So I decided to introduce anxiety to distractions,

Which helped me soothe him for a while but it wasn't long before distractions began to shape shift into boredom and boredom seemed to really have a thing for anxiety and anxiety seemed to have developed a thing for me and pretty soon we were back to where we started,

I battling butterflies,

And you the principal cause of why they wouldn't settle down and I kinda slept through the class where I would have learnt how to evict you out of the real estate of my mind,

So now I'm stuck here waiting,

With anxiety screaming through one hear and did I mention that patience came over to cheer me up but for some reason he seemed to be getting kinda thin?

I think he was starting to tire of waiting for you too,

Or maybe he had butterflies violating the walls of his belly too,

I wondered if he was kinda hoping you'd call too,

By the way I think your voice sounds pretty on phone but beautiful in person honestly I don't know which one I prefer,

But in that moment I didn't really care,

I just wanted to hear it,

So I waited,

But you never called and so pretty soon anxiety got tired of waiting and abondoned me and left depression in his place and I really don't like that guy,

Like it's nothing personal he just kinda has a way of killing my vibe,

And soon patience left too and now I'm writing a poem about how much I miss them because they were the only things that kept me company while I waited for you.
