I sit here
Waiting
For someome to come
Pick me up
They do come
Eventually but
They don't know
How hard it is to
Sit and wait for
The simple things in life
People move freely
I wish they knew
What it is like to
Sit and wait
Like me

This is so simple yet so powerful. I love the message you convey, that even though they picked you up, they can't understand what it's like to wait like that. Very nicely written...Check out some of my work, too if you'd like. Keep writing!
