Waiting Game

A new poem because I haven't written one in a while.

I feel as though I'm slipping into a stupid waiting game,

One where I get tricked into loving ill-got fame,

But also where I see beautiful things around,

And nothing is against me, not even a sound,

I think that even in the world of Facebook,

We should all stop and look,

At the beautiful things in life

Like candy, nature, and your wife.

So go ahead, stop staring at the TV,

Go out, live life, be free,

Go see the Earth, the moon, the trees,

And don't get stuck in a waiting game, like me.

Thank you! But, if you don't mind me asking, what are the ellipses about?

[Sami Khalil]

More good things to say but that I keep it short...
