The Hurry Up and Wait

Langley Cornwell
Hurry up to leave your house
Wait to find a park

Hurry up to stand in line
Wait to make your mark

Hurry up to know yourself
Wait to be denied

Hurry up to seek the truth
Wait to feel inspired

Hurry up to ask for help
Wait to see the choice

Hurry up to speak out loud
Wait to hear your voice
