Family Struggle
March 4, 2020
This night is like crystals turned into tears
Horrid memories are haunting our sleep
Family filled me with love, now turned to fears
Dad, I call without response. I’m now weak.
They possessed the heart and soul, now long gone.
When I walk down the stairs softly stepping
Wishing for noise, but there’s none it feels wrong.
The quiet house is silently rawring.
And my mother’s arms comfort me with hugs
Letting us know that it’ll be okay.
Filling up with excitement like warm mugs
Sitting around a fire, siblings play.
With all the love I feel inside my heart
Hoping, fully that we will never part.

I wrote this for English class, it's a Shakesperian Sonnet with Iambic Pentameter. I decided to submit this to see what happens ;)
