TIRED

Tired of me
Not someone else
And all the waiting
Deeply felt
Was only loss
Of time again,
Postponement of
A greater pain
That life relays
As disappointment
In ourselves
And others' gain
Becomes a waking
Slap! to retain
Perspective lost
Forever hoping
For a foothold
On the sloping
Sands of thought.
