i am waiting
i might not look it from outside.
i function.
i socialise.
i eat, exercise.
i do my work and i play
but i am frozen.
i am waiting.
i expected my answer three weeks ago.
two weeks ago i felt sure i would know.
now i will hear in every
next.
moment.
i am waiting.
each day more certain it won’t be what i hope
though i can’t know what i hope
if i don’t
i am waiting.
i want to decide:
i don’t want this,
i don’t care
so i can say “i chose it.
i had the power.”
and stop waiting.
i am waiting.
maybe it will be good news.
