"Wait"
Everyone says
as the young girl heads toward the door.
Knowing that she deserves better than this.
No one can stop her now,
she has been hurt one
to many times.
Her bags are packed,
she is ready to leave
all of this behind.
She had come for acceptance
and spontaneity,
now that seems like
a far off fantasy.
She needs to go home
back to where she belongs,
where she is accepted.
Not torn down,
compared to others,
never being enough.
She had it all once,
then she threw it away
for some minor thought
that wouldn't go away.
Needing to get that back
and deciding change is the only answer.
Thinking will he ever want
this chance with me?
She heads out the door now,
leaving the life she made behind
She thinks of hope and love
and knows they are the answer
All she can do know is try her best, waiting.
Waiting, for another chance with me.
