Just Wait For The Sun

Just wait for the sun.

It was something we all grew up hearing. Tomorrow is a new day. This too shall pass. It was the one thing we knew was guaranteed. With or without you.

Just wait for the sun.

Does it symbolize a fresh start? But what if you couldn’t wait for the sun? Do you turn on the brightest light? Do you mimic the feeling of a new day? Why can't this be settled now?

Just wait for the sun.

God forbid you slept in. Damn the calmness from your sleep. You prayed for it all to just go away. In the hopes that waking up once again could somehow clear a slate. Even in your dreams you can’t run from it.

Just wait for the sun.

Okay, so now I’m awake, do I go outside? Do I wait to eat? When am I supposed to get this clarity? Do I have to scream louder? Are you waiting for me to be violent?

Just wait for the sun.

The pink sky is climbing. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this. Every day, I want to hate the world. But for some reason, it is not right now. I need a moment to think.

Just wait for the sun.

What am I supposed to do? Why won’t you talk to me? How are we supposed to survive? Why is there no justice? Where is my peace?

Just wait for the sun.

There it is. There is warmth. I don’t know if I’m feeling the energy. There is no clarity, but I feel the warmth. I can stand here as long as I need to. Until you answer me.

Just wait for the sun.

Where are my answers? I need to find them. Where is my justice and peace? I need to have patience and perseverance. Where do I start?

Just wait for the sun.
