I don’t have a family tree

It's never been that simple

Its closer to a web 

But it's not just a web of lies

Anymore 

Its a web of love 

And hope that has been 

Forming without me 

Even knowing

They are proud of me

And I of them 

We love each other

And want to see 

Eachother happy 

But happy feels so 

Far away 

I wanna say that I am

But I’m not 

Yet 


The author's comments:

This poem was written after another less hopeful one. I'm not happy yet but I'm getting there. The web of love that my family is has gotten me a lot closer to happiness. I just hope I've helped do the same for them. I love y'all never doubt that.
