To those who have said wait

To those who have said wait

A Poem by Em

Just wait, in a few years it will all be better,

Just wait.

I’m waiting,

Just wait, in a few years you will understand,

Just wait,

I’m waiting.


Maybe it won’t get better

Maybe my feelings are real and not some fairy tail I made up for attention.

Maybe I want to talk about them,

I want your help pulling my soul from this quicksand.

You see I am stuck.

I have repressed them,

Held them in,

But now it is not me that is holding them in

but them who is holding in me.


Maybe I won’t understand

I am lost in the dark with no way out

I come to you shine to the light

But all you do is break the bulb


Maybe I am different

Even if you think it’s so simple a baby could get it

that is not a reason to make me feel stupid, or left out.

Why don’t you see that?


Maybe I am hurt

You telling me I will change later makes me feel broken now.

You telling me that I will understand later makes me fall deeper into the quicksand.



So if you really love me toss me a rope,

Turn on the light and guide me home.

Stop telling me to wait.

Help me now.


Don’t say ,

Just wait,

Because every time you say it I sink deeper in to the quicksand.

I little more of my soul gone.

Till one day it will have swallowed me hole never to be returned in this form.



But if you really love me toss me a rope,

Turn on the light and guide me home.

Stop telling me to wait.

Help me now.

Because this is your last chance.

This is great. I really feel like this captures emotion of waiting in a spectacular way. Waiting for someone to make up their mind is tough, and time is limited.
