I thought it was normal, because it always happens

I figured things would be the same,

but I resumed my life realizing everything had changed

No longer do I have a place to go that I could call my "home"

I went from super happy positive girl

to feeling all alone

My counselors, teachers, and fellow claasmates all tried to help

Offering whatever services they could provide

attempting to ease the pain I felt

Although appreciative for all that was done,

help from one human being was all that my soul could want

How hard it was to face reality

I sat and watched as I lost the person closest to me

Day after day would pass me by,

and rather than make progress all I could do was cry

What did I do to make my mother hate me so much

I would always ask myself as I reminisced about her sweet love

I seen her ever so often and yet she would not speak 

what was so important that us it could come in between

She was my best friend, my role model, and my mom

I never thought I'd see the day something could break our bond

Now here I am going from place to place and house to house

with nothing but determination to find my way out

I want out from my homeless situation

I want out the the negative repitition

I want out from the resentment I feel for my mom

and I want out from the jealousy I feel for other teens because of what to me was done

I'm ready to start college and further my education

I'm ready for that day that I can prove to be a lesson

One day, someday not that far

I will be someone's hope or shining star

I will be there for help or whatever they may need

I can be a helping hand to planting their life's seeds

I will be one very minor example in life's book of hope 

showing that despite the way your life may turn 

there's always a redirecting road.
