Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

An hour has passed
Not enough
I studied my hardest
Aced the practice

That’s what I said last time

Another hour
Time ticks slowly
Is it at three or four

I don’t even know what I’m counting down to

Stay calm
Don’t freak out

Dimly lit room
People paying taxes
That man coughs
The woman calms a crying baby

They call my name

Shaking hands
Pounding heart
Weak legs

Even the door is hard to open

Waiting

Waiting

Wait i  n   g     .      .        .
