I Am from a Brick

I am from the brick that fell out of the wall
(Dead, heavy
It damaged like my family)
I am from the crab apple tree
Whose fruit held my happiness
Whose fruit held my hope
Whose fruit held my safety
As if it knew I needed for future day
I am from the mirror that reflected hell
Which also showed why my life could perish
It showed guns
It showed drugs
It showed me
And it showed a pedophile
I am from the stairs
Which holds the weight of my silent screams
And my endless, hopeless tears
It held the people who “rescued” me
And it still holds the reasons why I couldn’t be rescued
I am now part of another family
Who is still apart of drugs
But lacks violence and offenders
I am part of a feeling
A feeling of not belonging
Which tears me into pieces
It leaves me screaming for my old life
I go back to my crab apple tree
My one place that I was ever free
I take a bite of an apple
It releases the smiles that I thought I’d lost
I feel like I must rebel from my sadness
I am from lessons
I am from a life
Which wanted to make me into one way
A depressed, untrusting, lost, unlucky girl
But I am also from eternal heart
Something that was there before I had life
And something that is more powerful than hate
It has helped me become who I am now
An independent, strong, worldly, aware, lucky girl
It took me a while
I am finally here
I will let nothing destroy me
I am forever alive
Though horrors stuck my soul
I fought them off with my strong heart
And all that I came from doesn’t matter
Because I will always have my heart to follow

| I love this free-verse. ^_^ I like your metaphors a LOT. Crab tree, mirror, stairs...you're many unsuspected things! Great job! |
