Artifact Poems
A Picture with Pops
I use to have you in a frame
Almost like a photo
But seeing that brings sudden pain
My heart suddenly grows cold
So I chose to throw you away
Not in a sense that you're trash
But keeping you around slowly broke me down
So to focus
I hid you in the top dresser the one that holds no value
Like a childhood toy shelved and long forgotten
You stayed there collecting dust but for what reason
Because I let this image of you bring up you leaving
I forgot who you were
To let the bad overwhelm the good
Was far from me
This photo a main factor
In my struggle something I simply hated
So I believed because of you my stature received these changes
I forgot who you were
I remember now
How you pushed me to succeed like a father would
You helped me told me I could
When I strayed away from my true path
You help put me back on track
So instead of remembering the bad
I'll remember just that
I need to remember
No bars will hold you
You can freely roam
A home far from home
These memories I hold on to
You helped me grow oh so bold
Cause when days are cold and feverish
That photo I hold it rids the cold
And I know for certain you're seeing this
A woeful road won't change my tone
So instead of just hating
This image I hid gracefully
I'll hang you up again
And use you as a means of motivation
A Father Figure
A Mere Image
Just an ordinary morning
Same routine which is Boring
I get up brush my teeth and think what’s the point
I do the same thing everyday
Learn the same thing everyday
Same routine different day
I look at the picture posted upon the wall
And can’t help but feel appalled
Realising I don’t do this Cause I have to
I do it cause i feel obliged.
I look at this picture and feel as though I need to pass
Like dedicating my grades to my mom and dad
Because they help me strive each day and each night
Even when life is filled with strife
This picture of mine I keep hung in my mind
Helps rid me of this plight
In dire times
This pic of mine
Sheds light on the days
I wish to decay
You motivate me
You inspire me
You guys the entire team
Keep me going keep me living
All that displayed through a mere image.
