Patient


Just be patient'' ''Time heals'' ''Patience is key'' That's three Three things someone has said to me Three things that now piss me, Off. If it's really key Why hasn't it opened doors I mean it has But when I go through I never seem to endure Then I hear ''it's okay, time helps one to explore.'' Yes I agree time helps one to explore, To explore the joys of anger, To explore the anger of joy, Explore the pain of happiness, Explore the happiness of pain, Now time is just a thief or sometimes a mafia It can beat you up and Leave you in grief And treat you like a failure Sometimes it kills somebody else Just to make you happier. Honestly I hate time When you hear ''wait'' Its simply time calling Because he never ate, He never ate your happiness, He never got the chance to leave your Plate empty with pain on the side He never got the chance to get somebody to waste a few minutes of your life He never got the chance to tell you that you wasted him on meaningful useless things. ''Patience is key'' It's key to a basement holding regret hostage A basement with so many memories that sting even worse than a wasp A basement that stinks because of the corpses of lost memories A basement where the air screams ''Drown in time!'' In all corners a little girl curled up whispers ''Patience, be patient.''
