Waiting

I spend my day reading, writing and waiting.
Waiting for my English class to end, waiting for a ride home,
Waiting for graduation

I spend my day sleeping, watching and waiting.
Waiting for the bus, waiting for Friday to come,
Waiting for my diploma

I spend my day learning, eating and waiting.
Waiting for my favorite show to start, waiting to see my grades,
Waiting for the speeches

I spend my last days walking, running and waiting.
Waiting to clean out my locker, waiting to say my final goodbyes
And waiting for my life to start.
