we are history

A poem about how you should never forget where you came from and to reach for the sky, no matter what obsacles you face on your journey of life. Hopeful. ;)

her eyes sparkle in the snow

the bird that flew over landed and hit the road

but nobody knows why she cried

because the next day, she died

and he looked straight into her eyes and lied

heaven knows why he decided to fall by her side

nothing’s as real as it seems

in this world full of deceiving dreams

of things past and things long held in the palm of your hand

and in the end, no one wants to take the final stand.

and as I write blatant poetry in this dark room,

all I seem to feel is the weaving of the destiny loom.

we are monsters; we never forgive.

we move on, but we never really live.

memories hurt and words linger

as everyone blames each other by pointing fingers.

a heinous and arduous task is laid before us

as a gift from God that we unappreciatively throw in the dust.

you, with heinous hate,

you, just a tad too late.

our history, our victory, our loss,

our home, our heart, our cost.

go into the moment and take my hand.

come with me, let’s explore this new land.

remember how her eyes sparkled in the snow,

recall how that bird flew and hit the road.

don’t forget the times you cried;

remember your history, remembered the ones who have died.

nothing’s as real as it seems

in this world full of deceiving dreams.

so take heart, take hope, and believe

walk up to the steps and achieve

nothing is better than before,

when we move on, we rise from the floor.

get up, stand up; I know you

find the proof; pursue what’s true

we are made different and in that way, we are made anew

we are history, we are you.

Author's Note

I think that this one is actually really good. The first few lines (or more specifically, the first two lines) may be hard for you to understand, but there is a solid meaning embedded in them, meaning, that every line has a specific meaning and connection to the theme and tone of the poem. If anything is off, or if anything is not clear, please feel free to ask/comment, and I'll do my best to explain it. Thanks again!
