Waiting

I want to run across the grassy field, Feel the wind pass by my ears. I want to dive deep into the ocean, Feel my fingers wrinkle.

Waiting

I want to run across the grassy field, Feel the wind pass by my ears. I want to dive deep into the ocean, Feel my fingers wrinkle.

But my body is no longer capable, I could only wander, Watching people enjoy it. While I’m sitting right here.

My steps become slow. My head hangs low. My body shrinks. My eyes blur.

The money is ready to be used, My suit has been prepared. The coffin is already decorated, Waiting for my part to end.
