Waiting for the Start to Dial

Are you waiting for life to happen?

I think of this all the time.

And I feel like I'm always waiting

Even though life started for me

In 1995.

I don't feel like a grown-up

But I know I'm not a child.

I'm just a person floating forever

Waiting for the start to dial.

But the start

Has already happened and the phone

Will never ring.

So I know I need to buckle up,

Making it all count, and I mean

Everything.
