Not my strong suit

By nature, I am a very impatient person. I hate waiting. I wanted to know the gender of my children ASAP, because waiting to find out when they were born was just crazy talk to me. When I am searching for answers, I want it right away. When I make a decision, it gets done. I suppose that is where my eldest son gets it from. I wrote this latest poem in my head while I was trying to fall asleep, my brain has had trouble shutting off at night.

Searching For Answers

Tell me all the good news, and tell me the bad.
Tell me everything, even if it makes me impossibly sad.
 
Show me your secrets, and show me your dreams.
Show me everything, even if it makes me scream.
 
Waiting is difficult, no matter what for. 
My heart just can’t possibly take anymore.
 
Impatient, anxious, eager, and keen,
to find out what all of this means.
 
Exasperated, annoyed, edgy and irked,
to finally know the end of this game. 
 
Someday the answers will come to me.
Someday I will know just what will be.
