-no, really i'm interested

-but just give me more time

-you see i have have a busy schedule

-and i can't afford delay

-what you said is really important

-but i don't think i can commit right now

-i need to keep on moving

-and you're slowing me down

-life is not easy, not as easy as you say

-and i have too much at stake

-for a moment of silence

-i have too much at stake

-for a moment of silence

-you say it'll help me

-to slow down

-but i'd rather hurry and work harder

-holding nothing back

-i'll add it to my to-do list

-at the bottom

-if i have time

-but the truth is i don't like taking breaks

-when the world is falling at my feet

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
