The waiting room is where we are.
Just chairs beyond chairs beyond chairs.
If you rise from your seat, you'll loose your place in line; never to be regained.
Filled chairs beyond chairs beyond chairs.
I look for something.
Someone.
That one thing that makes the wait worth all the while.
Here it's dull. It's dark and I'm delusional.
You could loose your mind in a place like this. 
But for me it's way to easy to get up and walk away.
I'm willing to sit and wait- to get a glimpse at the end of the line.
We all have a place, we all have a time.
But we don't focus on that.
We focus entirely on finding someone to wait with:
To make us happy
To allow us to feel more than just empty
But more times than never- we're hurt
We're shown the door before it's our time.
So that's why I'm not going to let my seat go.
I look out into the window of life and it's cold against my being.
So I will wait my turn.
I'm not going to give everything up
In the hope for an us. 
After all- there is no empty chairs.

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
