Does patience ever pay off?
not knowing if things ever get better, or easier
instead, everyday feels the same
trying to cope
acting so happy, though it feels useless
everytime i feel like that
a voice in my head wills me
"got to be patient"
easier said than done though
trying to make sense of things
going over it a million times
watching, waiting, wondering
and tomorrow is another day
another day of unhappiness
another day feeling the same
it comes back again
"got to be patient"
it seems totally pointless
being patient, what will that achieve?
and in the meantime
i have to carry on with this torture
the days pass me by
waiting for the good things
to erase all the bad
it dosen't seem to work
i sit there crying, my head in my hands
that voice stops me and says
"got to be patient"
and everytime it gets me down
that is what i hear
it dosen't make things better
but makes me curious
i woke up this morning feeling the same
stupid thoughts in my mind
what good is going to happen today?
absolutely nothing
when will the good things come?
will they come at all?
how will i know when they do?
and all of a sudden
that familiar sound springs in my mind
and makes me sit up and take notice once more
"got to be patient"
