Waiting

I wait for the world to end.
I wait because I know it'll happen,
I wait because I fear losing,
I wait because I do.

My world is everything Wanted,
The hopes and dreams I hold.
A beautiful sight,
when what you have crumbles.

prove me right,
prove that I am a Tragic comedy,
prove that my prophicy is set,
unlike Odysseus and Cassandra,
I will not defy.

because when my fate becomes true,
I will have known it whole,
and maybe thats fearfull living,
But what else?

    And I still sit in the box. 
    The left could sin me, 
    Right could win me, 
    Front or back could block. 
    I could become a famous tool, 
    Or infamously triumph,
