ARE WE NOT THERE YET?

Watching the back of your head,

Kicking my little feet behind your seat.

Neither hush me, nor try to hold

I know, I am too much,

Mom already told.

Are we here, yet?

Sitting next to me,

There is a little monster.

You call her my sister.

She doesn’t like my games

She doesn’t hold peace.

Are we here, yet?

You tell me to look out and enjoy the ride

It is all too fast, too blurry

I can’t see and  make sense.

I have a thousand questions,

All  without answers.

Are we here yet?

Now you are at the end of patience.

I am sent to my dungeon once again.

Too many dragons awaiting,

So poof the magic I practice,

And wait for the never ending.

Are we here, yet?

I know, you will get me there and

All the promises that your love keeps.

I wish I could enjoy the journey,

Just like you told me.

Still dreaming that I have wings

Are we here, yet?
