Her
Wanting to run away
Always wanting to
It’s an endless need
An endless craving
I shouldn’t be forced to stay where I am
Shouldn’t I be able to choose where to live my life?
Shouldn’t I be able to choose
Who to call mom
Who to call dad
Who to love
Who to call family
Who to look to for help
I don’t feel like I have any support
I feel alone
I feel like no one cares
I want to run
I want to run to her
I want to call her mom
I want her to hold me when I cry
I want to have morning conversations with her in the car
I want to have dinner with her
I want to go shopping with her
I want to do those simple everyday things with her
I want to make her laugh
Make her smile
Make her my family
I trust her
She’s the only one i’ll ever trust
I love her so much
Just like she’s family
She listens
She cares
She talks to me so calmly
She helps me stay sane
I go to her when I’m breaking
She makes me feel whole again
She makes me feel loved
Wanted
Needed
Important
She makes me feel like I make a difference
I need her in my life
I want her to sign those papers
I want her to be my mom
I can’t live without her
I wish she knew how much she means to me
But she doesn’t or maybe she does
It makes my chest feel empty when i’m not with her
It makes me feel alone
What am I supposed to do?
Do I tell her
Do I forget
Do I give up
Do I disappear
Oh how I wish I knew
I wish I knew how to make this happen
How to make this work
How to call her mom...
