Literature Text

"Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you." - Publius Ovidius Naso.

   I'm waiting for the day when I can no longer feel the sting of your words. Feel the weight of the heavy hand. The force. The impact. Be able to ignore the feeling of being hollow. Lifeless. Nothing but gaunt looks and blank stares. Not even being able to recognize myself. Becoming the stranger.

   I'm waiting for the day when the aches and pains dissipate. No more nights where the weight of the day lingers in the air. Crushing me. Suffocating. Sleepless nights because my mind is going... going... going. Thoughts pushing and prodding. Forcing me to lie awake for hours. Never letting me rest.

   I'm waiting for the day where my stomach doesn't twist and churn with the stress. Doubled up in pain. Laying there listening. Don't pretend like I can't hear you.  I hear you. I hear everything. Your voice dripping with disappointment and disgust. I wait until everything is dead silent before I dare stumble out of bed. Coughing crimson. The stress eating me from the inside.

   Someday. Someday they promise. Just stick it out. You'll be stronger for it. How much longer until someday? How much longer to wait? What good will any of this have on a person?

                                   I guess I'm stuck waiting on someday.

Um, what can I say to this, which wouldn't sound hollow? So I don't.
