Sob And Wait Poem by Harashia Crawford

Sometimes life can be so difficult
I go to school, go to my fiance's house, then to mine
Not being there all day I clean the house up after nine
I do it so my mom doesn't fuss about it
But still, she manages to do so
She pushes the yelling and it makes me want to go
Leave out of her hair
But I can't, the law that says I have to be eighteen
I'm only stuck at sixteen
In less then two years, I will marry
Then I won't have to be at that place
It seems like time and I are in a race
I don't want to live my life there
But there's nothing I can do
I have to wait for my change, something new
So i guess I have to live in sadness at the moment
I live at this place like a servent
All I can do is sob and wait
