Restless

I can't sit still,
This restlessness in me is stirring
Whirling in my stomach;
The butterflies are awakening,
Nerves are on end,
But for what?

I feel as a tigress in a cage,
Pacing my room,
Needing the fresh air,
Unable to get out
Run free,
But to where?

Awareness of time wanes,
Minutes seem as hours;
Time runs slow,
Not passing quick enough,
A sense of restlessness remains,
But why?

The waiting is killing me,
Slowly eating me from the inside;
I'm waiting on something to appear, to happen,
I feel the need to go looking
I need to get up, out
But where?

Someone help me
Rid me of this feeling
Free me from my prison
