The Countdown

How long does

Longing

Take?

What is the countdown

Of

Our

Days?

What are we waiting

For,

And

Why

Do

We

Wait?

The countdown

For anything

Means

We are

Counting

Down

To

Something.

The minutes may 

Pass

Like

Seconds,

Or the seconds

May end

Up

Feeling

Like

Minutes,

But the countdown

Is still the same.

We may want that

Bell

To

Ring

When class

Feels

Hopelessly

Boring,

But we also want 

Time

To

Stop

When we’re

Living

Our

Dreams

In

Reality.

I guess

The reality

Of the

Countdown

Is there

Is something

We’re

Counting

On

To work

For

Us

At the end

Of 

It

All.
