Waiting On

Every day, I'm waiting on.

Never waited on.

I have better things than waiting on, but I do.

"I don't have time!" they have better things than waiting on, so they don't.

Every day, I'm cleaning for.

Never cleaned for.

It's not my mess, but I clean it.

"It's not my mess!" It's not their mess to clean, so they don't.

Every day, I'm trampled over.

Never trampling over.

I can make them move, but I don't.

"Get outta my way!" They can make me move, so they do.

Every day, I'm judged by.

Never judging by.

I know that everyone is different, so I don't.

"She's weird!" They know that everyone is different, so they do.

Every day, I'm looking on.

On at the people.

On at myself.

Myself.

The people.

And I feel a strong disappointment

And I wonder as my eyelids grow weary, and my body grows tired;

Why am I

waiting on,

cleaning for,

trampled on,

and judged by?

And;

Why are they

waited on,

cleaned for,

trampling on,

and judging by?

But this wearies me, so at last, I fall asleep in a worthless body in a worthless dream.
