As I Sit Waiting



The wait is not over yet; as I sit reminiscing
Tears go down my cheeks involuntarily...
Pain is felt within as it began crushing
And smashing my head, as if it ruins my sanity.

The roaring of truth painfully strikes me
In a silence I hear all but melancholy...
When shall I stop from waiting and be free?
Free myself from waiting of uncertainty.

In a wonder,I sense,I am badly mistreated
My heart yearns only for a fair judgement...
Is that too much for a plea,have been waited
I see no reason not to avail for a sentiment.

Please, hear me lest I end from breathing!
I have never stop from doing great and good
Is not a matter of complain but am begging...
An answer have long misunderstood, dear Lord.
