Wait

I can't play the music

loud enough

to drown out

the noise

in my head

from the frame

I'm sitting in front of

the tv

but there's a mile of distance

in between me

and everything

I can't comprehend

reality

So I just wait

until I can't explain

why I'm beginning to spiral

just wait

for the thoughts to go away

for someone else to take the stage

wait

just wait,

for your turn

just wait,

be quiet

just wait,

it'll all be ok

just wait

and wait

and wait

and wait

til you can't wait anymore

and wait

and wait

and wait

till the noise and tv

are no longer here with me

till everything you wish could be

has drowned you out of everything

you wait

and you wait

until you can't wait any more

and then you wake up on the floor

its black out night

and you can't quite remember

if those things were real

or if they're all were things

that just now appeared

but there's coffee by the fire

and the kids are so tired

and maybe it wasn't real?

so you wait

you just wait

because maybe

it won't happen

again

today
