Patience

Patience was a virtue
once
and now it only serves
to make me think
that I
am going
out of
my
mind.

Waiting and waiting
and waiting
for what?

Breathe in
two three
and out
two three
Count down until
it gets
better.

I'm lucky
it's down.

If it were up,
I don't think
I'd ever stop
counting.

I'd go higher
and higher
and further
out of reach.

Untouchable.

That sounds nice

Patience was a virtue
once.
But I'v been patient so long
that I've forgotten
what I'm
waiting
for.
