Waiting For the End

Dance this dance,
one step forward
while taking two back.
An ongoing cycle,
never seeming to end.

Wanting to try
and leap towards the sky,
reaching out to grab the hope
glittering above
that may lend a hand
and bring all the struggles
to an end.

Maybe someday,
when we stop moving backwards
we’ll finally see
that maybe it’s all worth it.
All this pain,
the never ending confusion
of whether to give in
and let it all end.
Or to persevere through,
finding the possible love
that was there all along.

One day we’ll find it,
just wait and see.
When that day comes,
I just hope
that it’ll have been worth it.
