Sitting at the sidelines

As time crawls by

Impatiently waiting

Hoping for time to fly

Seconds pass slowly

Minutes drag away

I check my watch again

For the hundredth time today

Sleepily I listen

To the sounds outside the door

Waiting for something to happen

Wanting so much more

Stifled by the heat

I feel like I'm wasting my time

I don't want to lose another moment

I want my life to be mine

Stuck within these four walls

My mind is going numb

Sweet sleep is beckoning me

It takes all my will not to succumb
