THE WAITING GAME


                  

 

A millennium has past

And we are still waiting on better days

There are none left-or so it seems,

Hype yourself throughout the day

The waiting game is not easy to play

Face the consequences with each mistake

And visualize how much time it will take

Patience is a game that is not familiar with just anyone

Think of it as your very own personal bubble in which you can operate within

Every second and every minute you waste just leads to feelings of regret

Time waits for no one in this world, is what they always say

But good things happen to those who wait

So just hold on!

Wait…

Even if it is just for a limited time only

And you should always wait for the opportune moment,

Because the waiting game is no joke

You need to have some form of discipline

Waiting is a skillful game that not many can master

Sometimes you are placed in a position where patience has to come first

Instead of overreacting and being impatient

Wait…

Not everyone can master the waiting game

You have to suppress your urge to move forward

Is it really that hard to tame the willingness to be on the move at all time?

How will you be able to play the waiting game?

Why don’t you just stop for a moment and wait?
