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...
