Tired of waiting

Nicole Pritchard

 

Months gone by, and I'm still on hold

Tired of limits, tired of pain's cold

I want to move, to live, to be

But my body's pace is slow to agree

 

Every step's a task, every task a chore

Rest is forced, but relief's ignored

I'm a shadow of my active self

Trapped in this frame, where movement's a test

 

I'm tired of waiting to be whole

To shed this pain and reclaim my soul

I want to be me, free and unbound

Without this constant ache, this weight I've found

 

I'd trade it all for a pain-free day

No complaints, just freedom's way

To run, to play, to live without thought

Of what's allowed, and what's not

  • Comment from author about the poem: I am just feeling frustrated after messing up my elbow 6 months ago. How it is still causing me a lot of discomfort. Even after I’m doing all the right things to get better.
