Waiting

     Someone once told me if you ever have something stuck on your mind then write it out, just let it via pen and paper and soon you would have transferred all those thoughts to words. I think this a pretty ingenues concept which actually does happen to work for me. The first time I did it, was last spring; which was my senior year in high school. I wrote a beautiful poem in only took a matter of minutes because the situation had been stirring in my head for so long. I'm not very confident when I read out loud and my voice tends to shake. I had wrote about something so emotional that I had kept locked inside my head; replaying occasions over and over. One teacher told me she could really feel all the emotion in it and she wanted a copy of it to reference for future years of teaching. When I read it to my parent's, my dad at first didn't believe that I wrote it. They knew me for the person I was at home I suppose. Momentarily I don't think they believed that I experienced what I was writing about. And I know you're all probably like well what did you write, well here it is...

Sitting here waiting
 Buzzzzz
You text me, “Be right down”
“Be right down” turns into
Searching for a song on the
    Radio-night radio
          waiting
Buzzzzz
You text me, “Sorry, had to do laundry. On my way.”
            On the look out-waiting.
                        For you
                                    For future
                                                For love
                                                            For happiness
                                                Still waiting
TAP TAP-on my car window
            No longer waiting.
            Waving, smiling
                  Greeting
The nights air is cold
We park and go up
To your room
You show my things I’ve never seen
            Views
                        Stars
                                    Photos
                  Creating memories
Told me what I want to hear.
Wrapping me around your
     Perfectly primed finger

          The sun rises.
  The light illuminates truths
I’m blinded by it’s glorious rays
    Off I go, intoxicated by
       “foolish emotions”

Then, shortly, I’m left again
                              Waiting
                   For a message
          A response
  An answer
Left second guessing myself
                 Devestated
             Insecure
    Still waiting for a
      Reason why.

  1. Wow, I have to say i love your poem for more than one reason. First off, its really great i love the way its said, and its meaning behind it. The other reason why is because I can relate to it so well. I also have written things that have been stirring so long with me that when it does come out its a flowing river of emotion that i don't really know how to deal with. When i did finish, everyone i have read it too can feel that emotion behind it. I have to say, letting out the emotion is a good relief, and a small portion of it lets us.. let go in the end. Thanks for sharing this poem to the world, because i think its beautiful.

  2. Oh, I love this poem, too. LOVE IT! It's lively, honest, contemporary (with the texting). It takes the mundane (laundry) and makes it feel critical. I also love the use of sound in it. Okay, so I have to ask, have you taken a creative writing poetry class yet? :-D Just askin'. You're clearly a multi-talented writer. Kimberly
