Build Me
Learn more about other poetry terms
I am broken but I am not
I have lost but I have not
I didn’t have a chance but I have
Because hope does not leave
I had always felt like I was failing
In school, in work, and in life too.
It turned out I was the one curtailing
Myself in what I wanted to pursue.
I look upon myself today
And see how far I've come.
Life is unfair
The adults all preach it
But it takes so long for you to believe it
You ride the waves
Until the board breaks
temper me like steel
burn me with your fire
all the trials
all the fears
melt me as if wax
reshape me as if glass
build me from the start
mold me as if clay
chisel as if rock
tear me down
