I'm Impatient

I am impatient,

I am not ready to wait,

I want to take the plunge now,

And think of the consequences later,

My heart screams,

My brain tries to reason,

And I am caught in between the civil war that wages inside of me,

Breaking me down,

Causing me drown into confusion,

I want it now,

I crave for it now,

Rationality has left the table,

I fail to remember,

That failing to plan is planning to fail,

That success comes with rationality,

Taking the plunge,

Might not always help you grow wings,

Going with your gut,

Might land you in the gutter too,

But at this moment,

I don’t think of it,

I am Impatient,

It might cause me regret,

Is it worth it?

I don’t know,

It is said,

Good things take time.

But it is also said,

Don’t wait for time. It will never be right.

It is said,

Good things come to those who wait.

But it is also said,

Don’t wait for an opportunity. Create it.

Great! Now I am confused and impatient,

Oh, I so badly want to change it to I’m patient…

Impatience costs,

Patience pays,

And I am caught up in my word play…

Let us leave it all now,

I am impatient,

I am learning to be patient,

I was impatient to finish this poem,

But now I have patiently finished it,

Oh look! You got to the end! Quite a bit of patience you have!

Great! Now let us go from impatience to patience…patiently!
