"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. We were all born to make manifest the glory of God that's within us - it's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Nelson Mandela


I'm sick of waiting,
anticipating;
sick of wishing he was there,
if only he'd be there,
and every time,
hes not.
my spirits soar,
and then,
they fall,
each time a little harder.
I'm sick of waiting.

Sounds like someone's a bit crestfallen. I really like this poem, keep it up. (:
