Standing at the back of the line

Is fine by me because I need to

Learn some Patience. If I skip ahead,

What good will it do? I have read

That I must change my perspective

Before I can move up a row or two.

That’s what all children who grow up

Do when they become adults. I can’t attend

The Party dressed in these clothes-

Nor get the job I want without making

Some major changes to my casual wardrobe.

Everything I do revolves around Me changing

My point of view into one that lines up with

What You have to say. I may not understand

Every flaw in my character or control every

Emotion that tends to confuse the mess out

Of me- I don’t see my way ahead, nor do I

Have every little thing in my life mapped out.

All I know is that, I must be the first to take

The big dive before I expect You to do

Anything for me. So instead of watching the

Clock, I am working on self-improving me.
