Just You Wait And See! ! ! Poem by Holly Robbins

I try so hard to make you happy,
but nothing seems to work.
I do my best to find ways to love you,
but nothing seems to have worked.
I give you my time in hopes that you will return the favor,
but all I get is criticism and disappointment...
I'm trying to be positive, but you keep being negative.
I don't know how much more of this I can take
before I break or run away.
I know your life isn't perfect and neither is mine,
so why do you put others down all the time?
Is it a game to you that you're trying to win?
Don't you know you're going to lose it all in the end?
I can feel myself drowning in a pool of self doubt,
wondering how it's all going to end...
God knows I don't have a lot of money to spend,
but when I find an open door and 'earn' my wings,
I'm going to soar!
And once I'm gone, I'm not coming back, I just want you to know that.
There's a time for everything and when it's my time, I'm going to go.
I'm going to take the dice and let it roll,
and leave the rest in God's control.
Someday I'll be somebody and I'll make a difference,
just you wait and see!
