#20: The Lady in Waiting

She’s trapped in a box

there’s no windows or doors

(I venture to say you have heard this before)

She ponders her savior

and when they’ll arrive

(she’s tried everything, she’s left with no drive)

Powerless, waiting

and sometimes quite mad

(she fears that a limit or doom is at hand)

She tears out her hair

and it grows back again

(time is a thing with no start and no end)

Always she’s wondering

when it will come

If she’ll be free

or if there’s no one.
