( votes)Something to Wait For
written by: Rebecca Lombardo
@BekaLombardo
Reaching out for something more
Before my mind shuts this door
Until my soul lingers for more
I’ll keep the faith that fills every pore
Why can’t I take this frame
And bend it back again
Will I be lost in this game
Unable to see through the shame
Shadows cast over the light
Which barely braved the darkened night
My question is, how long will you fight
When there’s only this horrid image in your line of site
Am I capable of something more
I’ve never succeeded when keeping score
The sense of loss becomes a chore
When the life you’ve longed for is no more

My name is Rebecca Lombardo and I’m 43 years old. I’ve been happily married for 15 years. I live in Michigan with my husband and cats. I am a published author, a Huffington Post blogger, a contributor for The Mighty, and a podcast host. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19. I have battled that as well as several other conditions for over 20 years. In 2013, I attempted suicide. Grateful that I survived, I decided to tell my story in the hopes that I could help others choose a different path.
