is tiring, very tiring
not overall inspiring
I guess I need rewiring
just to cope
with fading hope
patience pummelled
i'm on the ropes
time sliding
dreams expiring
and yet I wait


feeling sore at my best before
I rush in situations
a severe lack of patience
veiled by thinning manners
bored of 24 hour news banners
town planners
and others who
tell me what to do
I want to live
take as well as give
it's true
but these moments are few
so I settle down
and wait

a bitter pill that makes me ill
for I won't cross the line
yet have envy on my mind
for those who do
that's nothing new
but they're followed by a T.V. crew
and so daily I must witness
comparable lack of fitness
of the body, mind and credit line
others shown having good times
I want to be a giver
but I just can't deliver
and so...

I wait.

for them to f**k up
