We used to wait

Inspire by Arcade's fire: We used to wait

I used to see myself

In a mirror

I used to see darkness and sadness in my face

Sometimes I used to wait

For this thing to come at me

I don't know what I was waiting for

But I used to wait

Now I'm here

Changing as times passes by

People sorrouding me

Just come and go

They're never the same

Times changes us as it advences

I used to wait for it

I used to wait for it

I used to wait for it

Sometimes 

Everything goes

Tides go and come

Days come and go

Every little thing

Makes us think of this world

When we feel numb or sad

Sometimes we wait for it

But it never comes

It never comes

Like rain falling on our heads

"Here comes another day

Of pure sadness and sorrow

Another morning of breaking myself again"

I used to wait for it

Now I go crazy

Waiting for that time to come

Tired of every word

Or action

Breaking me down

Tired of being throw down

Not taking me serious

I'm still waiting 

For them to understand

I'm still waiting for it

As I lose myself in this darkness again

I used to wait for it

But now those are past dreams

Wait 

Wait 

WAit

WaiT

WaIt

WAit

waIT

Wait for it....

I used to wait at home

I used to wait at school

I used to wait for them to understand

I used to wait for myself......

I used to wait for myself

For myself to wake up

Wake up to reality

A reality so pure and lonely

Around me

Breaking dreams and throwing me down

A system perfect but imperfect

A world full of sadness but yet happy

Pretending

Pretending that we're okay

When we're not

Pretending

I wait for it

I wait for them to understan

I wait

I wait

I wait

Wait for it

WAit for them

I wait....

Author's Note

Sorry for the long poem, But I really enjoyed writing this one

It was a little on the long side (not that that's bad), but the way you mixed up the stanzas made it read faster. I really like it! I know the feeling to...like, you feel like you have nothing to look forward to and that you are just a robot doing the same thing every day. Maybe that's not the feeling you were talking about, dunno. It's probably different for everybody...I really REALLy like this though, very cool!

[Lizardo]

Thanks for the review! and yes I was talking about that too, I sometimes feel tired of doing the same thing over and over again but there are sometimes that we all wait for something, like a dream but we just wait and see how the world passes between our eyes (don't know if you understood me xD) Anyways, thanks again!

[luvs2write]

I think I get what you mean...if it sounds like I don't, it's just because I'm dead tired yet do not want to go to sleep. I'm weird like that. =P

[Lizardo]

haha don't worry, I need to rest too :p I have ceremony to open tomorrow at school xD

[luvs2write]

Oh wow...that sounds nerve racking. =

[Lizardo]

Kind of, but I kind of know how to control my nerves so it's a 50-50 on this one

[luvs2write]

Okay. Well, good luck. =)

Thank you so much!

[Chain of Hearts]

I agree with, 'luvs2write', it was a a bit longer than most poems I read, but overall it is pretty good. Maybe you could fix a few spelling errors here and there, but other than that the poem is awesome! It sort of has a classical feel to it (no idea why).
Great job!

[Lizardo]

Okay I will fix those mistakes, thank you so much! For taking your time and reading this :)

[Chain of Hearts]

No problem ;)

But sometimes, waiting can be good

[Lizardo]

[Cool Girl]

You're welcome!! Gosh you keep making me laugh xD

[Lavender Soya]

The rawness of this composition is amusing but at the same time promising. Your presentation is always creative, nice! However, it needs a little proofreading. Failing to correct noticeable grammar errors may shatter the wonderful message you are trying to convey. Overall, it's good, keep writing lad. :-)

[Lizardo]

I'll check it because the Wait with different capital leters was on purpose xD
Thanks for the review! I really appreciete it :)
