Finding My Way
At one point in time
 Finding my way was not an option
 It was not a possibility, it was impossible.
 You can't find your way,
 When a stable life is not apparent
 A loving home, is not just simply handed to you
 When a definite home, is not yet received.
 After all these years
 Searching to be found
 Striving to be understood
 Longing to be cherished and loved
 I never realized that my happiness
 My mindset and knowledge
 Should not be seeked in others
 Because it cannot be found in others. 
 It can only be found in myself.
 Now I know that I can determine my
 Happiness, I can determine
 How I decide to accept life as it is
 And everything, or absolutely nothing
 That it has to offer me.
 Because in the end?
 I am the only one that I can count on
 I am the one that will ultimately
 Be in control of my successes and failures.
 I am the only one that can determine
 When I can find my way,
 If I will find my way.
 Today is a new day,
 And yesterday was just another day,
 Today is the day I search for myself
 Unbury the broken girl lost within
 Yet still dying to be uncovered and rediscovered
 Today is the day
 I accept my life for all that it is.
 I begin my beyond belated process of 
 Finding my way.

This is good. I can't believe more people haven't commented on your work. it's fabulous, and you most definitely have a gift. Just a couple of things:
First, on your third line... the possible/impossible line... well, that felt a little awkward. If anything, separate that into two, because something about the rhythm of that threw me for a loop.
Secondly, you put some commas where there shouldn't be commas, and didn't where there should have been commas. I'm super picky on grammar, so I notice that. But obviously, I loved it, because everything you do seems to be perfect.
Still good. Just a few things that need tweaking and this will be fabulous... as usual.
