Waiting in anticipation

A poem by: Alex Gibson

I don't think I'm ever truly living in the moment

Because I'm always waiting in anticipation for something

It seems like everyday is just filler for another day

Because I'm always waiting impatiently for something to come my way

I start to feel like a slave as I wait

Watching impatiently as time begins slipping away

And in this state

My mind begins to take over

And I start to lust over

Something not obtainable within this hour

This state leaving me

Susceptible to outside forces

While my mind is coercing with chaotic voices

Becoming unaware of time

As I sit

Trapped in my own mind

Fiending for just a chance to leave my present behind
