While I Wait

it’s just not

possible

to find my happy

when my happy

doesn’t

look at me

touch me

acknowledge me

i’ve been told

to wait

and wait

and wait

and it will come

but my impatience

gets in the way

and the tears flow

like the constant rain outside

so much that

my eyes hurt

my insides hurt

my heart hurts

while i wait

to be seen

this might move

things back a

few weeks

months

years

or make my happy leave

again

but i feel i need to

do this

to be heard

i get myself

in trouble

when i speak

in the middle of the

night

it’s just not the right

time

my impatience

gets in the way

i want my insides

my eyes

my heart

to feel better

happy

again
