As time crawls by,
I see people pass.
Almost to be going at the speed of light.
I watch the clock,
Slowly tick
then tock.

Waiting for this nightmare to be over.
That haunting sound,
with your hands un-even and pointed.
Glaring at me
and twisting your words.
Your sharp, menacing laughter
pierces my eardrums.

Are you mocking me?
Are you laughing at me?
Are you crying with me?
Are you praying with me?
Because I cannot tell.
Would you care to let me know,
It sure would be nice.

I no longer can patiently wait
As I watch these people pass.
I can’t just sit here in my own world,
as my reality waits for my comeback.
I have to stand up and enter reality,
face my fears and conquer them.
I’ll fight through my tears
and I’ll hold them back.
I’ll take that first swing,
if it’s the last thing I do.
