Hello everyone, this poem was inspired by Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2. I tried to focus on the theme of family and how it helps heal the hurt in our lives, but make of it what you will. Please enjoy and leave a review :)
What We Build
There's a hole in me
Full of ice that grows
Creeping into the corners of my mind
Oh, everybody knows
They all have one too
Oh, everybody knows
That from the darkness it's hard to be free
We try to fill those holes
Covering chips on our shoulders and the pieces missing in our hearts
We make do
And boy does it hurt
When someone we love is ripped away
The ice grows
The ice takes
Holes become bigger
And our constitution wavers
But with the promise that it may be better
We rebuild ourselves day by day
And through the pain and the coldness and the emptiness and the hurt we find inside us
We find our hope
We build families
We build faith and friends
We make plans, have dreams
We find a reason to fight for a future
We make a home
Not in a place but in the souls of others
We make a home
We find love
We build love
