For Once In A Very Long Time Poem by Krista Starr

For once in a very long time
I want to be happy like I was when I was little
I want to be able to see my parents again
I want to be able to actually have a conversation with them

For once in a very long time
I want to be who I am
I want to be able to show my true feelings toward people

For once in a very long time
I don't want to be depressed
I don't want to feel like I need to be shut out from whatever is going on in the world

For once in a very long time
I don't want to be mad at the world
I don't want to take my anger out on everybody else

For once in a very long time
I just want to be happy again
