The Wait

Nobody likes waiting.
It really is the pits;
‘Cause while anticipating,
You might just fall to bits.

Whatever you are waiting for
You want it to be done.
The nervousness you can’t ignore
Won’t stop once it’s begun.

Anxiety keeps building ‘til
It flies way off the charts,
And even if you know the drill
You’re helpless when it starts.

So take a breath or read a book
Or find a new diversion;
And maybe that will be the hook
To pluck you from immersion.

‘Cause drowning in anxiety
Won’t make the time go fast;
But it will pass and soon you’ll see
Your wait will end at last.
