My Wait Is Over
When I was younger, couldn’t see clearly
Often wondered why my bio mother couldn’t be near me
Left me in a home full of children just like me, yet I still felt lonely
They said I had ADHD, a Mood disorder and suffered from depression
In reality, I just didn’t know how to express the feelings of my family’s separation
I woke up everyday fearing the unknown
All because I didn’t have a place to call home
Packing my bags over and over
Feeling like my life was apart of a hostile takeover
I fought
I ran from what I couldn’t understand
I would scream “I hate my life”
In my mind I didn’t think anyone could relate
And when I arrived to my next destination
I refused to participate
Constantly
New house, New rules
New friends, New Schools
New pills, because I wasn’t given the proper coping skills
Then you came along
I knew your feelings for me were strong
You were determined to help me to feel like I belonged
Planting your feet in my corner
Pushing me to see my potential
Proving those diagnoses were simple
Even when I began to push you away because I wasn’t sure I could trust you
You pushed back with a firm “I Still love you”
That’s when I could clearly see, I’m yours
Today my wait is over
A new beginning for US
A New Name, New Love
New Family, New Me
New vision of life
A clear path in front of me
My wait is over
