Waiting- a poem

Waiting
K.N. Lee

Waiting 

For the right time
Tick tock

Take a moment
Sip some tea
Watch the clock

Waiting

For the moment 
While your brain
Screams out in shame
Tick
Tock...

Crushed souls 
And hearts broken

The words are dangerous

But they need to be spoken

Releasing feelings 

Emptying thine heart

Making room for something new

But unsure of how to start 

Waiting is for weaklings
Smash that clock to bits
There is no time for waiting
Gather your belongings
And your wits

Waiting
Why? 
Aren't you tired...
Of waiting?
Get up
Clutch that courage
With chin held high

Your time is up

And you know why...
