Waiting for Mail

As I wait impatiently for the mail,

I tremle pacing back and forth

Not because I am nervous, but because I've always enjoyed getting mail,

I enjoy the annoyance of tryng to be patient, the eagerness of the heart racing,

The joy that I have knowing that whatever I get in the mail is mine

And that, I earned it

For as I wait for days on weeks, I yearn it

For my desire is so strong, that I glorify the future that is near,

Weeks before looking online for my future

I realize how desperate I need to be

To have the best future

No, the best life as possible

I need to have the want and desire to not only better myself,

but to better my future, and people around me,

because they will know that they gave me the drive I need

Through all of the negativity, that came my way

I used that as my hustle, to stay away

As I fight to stray way, I've become stronger in every battle

Day by day....

So as I wait for my mail that I know I will recieve

My future is seeing my Family,

sending me off to a Unversity
