Is it the day yet?

by

it’s coming
coming fast
but not fast enough
days feeling like hours
weeks feeling like years
the ever growing confusion
on how long “until”…
blinds me momentarily from the truth

it’s near, it’s near
their dreams for me
the key to another room i’m yet to see
the last twenty-four hours
of being here
of breathing through gritted teeth of frustration
of crying through silent choking of depression
of smiling through loud laughs of glee

it’s here, the end to the growing days of difficulty
it’s here, the hello to another one
what they’ve been waiting for is here
it’s coming, it’s near, it’s here
