People Ask

People always ask me,
"So how's life going for you?"
I tell them its getting there.
I don't always mention that
I'm waiting.
Waiting for it to start, waiting for somebody?
Who knows.
I tell them it'll get better,
that they'll see, I'll see,
soon I'll stop old habits
and start believing.
I tell them, by summer, life
should be good.
Oh just next year, you wait,
it'll be good.
And the only thing I do is sit,
and wait.
Wait for it to start.
But I guess it won't start,
by waiting.
I tell myself,
Motivation!
That's the key.
But I still sit and wait,
for something thats
going to outrun a miracle.
