No More Waiting

I don’t want to wait 
to start traveling
I don’t want to wait 
to meet new people
to enjoy good food
and be in a good mood

I don’t want to wait for a boyfriend
girlfriend, queerfriend
I want to start making friends
I want to feel the sun
to dance in the rain
to just have fun

I don’t want to wait for retirement
to start when you’re old
tired and broken
I want to start now
young and excited
while I’m still feeling good

I don’t want to wait
like they tell me I should


Ever heard people say ‘‘when I get that promotion, we’ll take the trip’’, or ‘‘when I retire, I want to travel the world’’? This scares me, because what if that moment never comes? What if we wait too long and it doesn’t happen at all?
