Waiting


Day by day I go and wait.

For school to start, for classes to begin, and rumors to spread.

Day by day I wait for life to have purpose,

for me to understand that purpose because lately everythings been confusing.

Day by day I wait for them to come, to take the pain away before it begins,

with their harmful friends that will take you so high you'd see the stars.

Day by day I wait to get home, go to my room,

lock the door and ask him to forgive my sins for its not me but the demons within.

Day by day I wait for my life to begin.
