A tale of perseverance, which can be found in stories as simple as this.
Impatience
Wait your turn
Do not complain
For it will come
Stop.
Now wait

Feet tapping
Teeth Grinding
The sounds of waiting
Overwhelmed with impatience
Stop.
Wait your turn

The clock ticks
Oh so slowly
Agonizingly
Look at me
For I am waiting

Unbearable
I can come back again
Wait again
But relive it all


The tapping of the feet
The grinding of the teeth
I can't do this anymore

I can't

Panic stricken

I can't

Wait.

I can't.

"Next in line."

Breathe. You are next in line.
