I’m so bored, I can’t wait until the day ends.
The sun went down.
I can’t wait until the weekend, that’ll be fun.
Its Saturday.
I can’t wait until spring break, I really need one.
You were waiting for too long, it's already over.
I can’t wait until next month, time seems to move so slowly.
3 months have passed.
I can’t wait until school ends, I just don’t feel like caring right now.
You’re 6 weeks into summer break.
I can’t wait until the Holiday season, everything’s so sad right now.
You can still taste the cookies and milk on your lips from 6 months ago, can’t you?
I can’t wait until the new year, maybe things will be better next year.
The date changed by a number, then another. What’s that it’s 2020?
I can’t wait until I finish school, I hate this.
Do you even remember the faces of everyone you knew?
I can’t wait until I grow up, I’m so sad.
10 years pass. 20. 60.
The clock of time ticks away. It doesn't wait for you.
I can’t wait…
I can’t…
I…
There’s nothing left to wait for.


The author's comments:

Just the other day, I heard a friend saying that they "couldn't wait until tomorrow". I always hear people saying how much they wish the day was over. I understand how people can become bored, frustrated, or unsettled. They might feel like just moving on. But it's our experiences that shape us, it's moments like these where we need to live the most. It's moments like these where we have to try extra hard to find life in our churning sea of emotions. Each day that you will away, is another day where you could've lived, experienced, and added to your life. Its this realization that prompted me to write this poem.
