Waiting and Waiting
December 8, 2013
Waiting and waiting, will I get picked?
Waiting and waiting, I hope I’m called quick.
Names and names in a continuous sound
I do not know whether I’ll make the next round.
The work and the effort, the work and the sweat
I thought I would make the team, a sure bet.
Now, I sit like a flower lacking sun
My hopes dying with each name, one by one.
The list is now done, the team has been made
And I am one of the few cast astray.
Of all of the names, not one was mine
I have, all of a sudden, run out of time
Waiting and waiting, now that would be fine.
