A New Way

Written by: Maria Valdez

People go the wrong way
Because the right way is not an option.
Yet I seem to wait for the day it’s adoption.
I don’t like the system, I don’t want to be here.
I cry everyday, a tear after tear.
I want a new way and I search every path.
And since I keep moving, I hate school and I struggle in math.
I pray a new way but the judge says “not today”.
And I’m just waiting for a path, the better, a new way,
Cause every single day it’s the same one.
And year after year I’m longing for my family to come.
Day after day I struggle for an answer in reply,
But since I don’t have the answer I choose to lie.
Sometimes I don’t know why I cry and
Sometimes I don’t know why I try.
I’m tired of crying and tired of trying,
Sometimes I am smiling but inside I’m dying.
Today I have court once again,
They are trying to put me on something for my depression.
I think the solution is that I need to go home,
Cause in this place, I feel so alone.
I miss everyone, my family, friends and best friend.
Sometimes I feel hopeless to the point where it’s the end.
