Enough, I'll Just Wait

Strong emotions,

Boiling to the brim

Waiting to overflow

Pushing against the walls of locked gates

Waiting to escape

Racing thoughts, causing a raucous

Waiting to flood

Angry thoughts trying to break the lock

Waiting to be free from the invisible leash

Waiting to be free from being a servant to my thoughts

How to strategically tame my thoughts

Waiting for my ponderings to recede, fall asleep

How to stop believing everything my thoughts scream at me

Waiting for my emotions to settle down

Waiting for my emotions to get a hold of themselves

Tired of giving my thoughts all the time in the world

Waiting for my thoughts to take responsibility for their actions

Waiting, waiting, waiting, hasn’t enough time elapsed?

Enough, I say, enough

I’ll just wait

I can really relate to this, maybe that why I really liked this poem.
Sometimes you just want to scream, all those thoughts you can't shut off.
The overflow of strong emotions that are sometimes to much to handle.
This poem was very deep and real.
Really enjoyed this piece.
Keep on writing :)

To wait for something we need. Can be very hard.
"Waiting, waiting, waiting, hasn’t enough time elapsed?
Enough, I say, enough
I’ll just wait "
The above lines I do understand. Thank you Emily for sharing the excellent poetry.

I like it. It's funny how a racing mind and a flood of emotions can drive us insane. This was very good, I can feel the frustration like you just want to go outside and scream and it will all be better.
