I Wait

Constant crisis aversion
Monitoring and managing others
Incompetent unwilling unable
I can wait I can wait I can wait

Daughter Friend Neighbor
It doesn’t matter
Always the mother
She can wait she can wait she can wait

If I am not for myself
Who is for me
But if I am not for you
You will die
So I wait I wait I wait
