Literature Text

The struggles of his own
disappear beneath his smile,
replaced by sense of unknown hope.

Giving up is an option,
a door always open,
but he glances through,
and quickly moves on.

An optimist?
He is not.

No, he does not see light
through cracks of darkness,
does not see sunshine
in the black of the night.

This man knows where to search, though,
how to find sunshine
after tornadoes reined their fury.

Many doubts,
many insecurities,
as if their stones meant something
when spoken by poison lips
set out kill.

He will not defeat,
nor be defeated.

Rocks may be thrown,
sticks and stones,
but come morning,
he's no longer deaf to the solution.
Write about a brave person you know of. What makes them brave? Did they do something special, or is it some way they live their life? What character traits do they have?


These were the questions we had to answer..
I wrote this about one of my closest friends. It turns out he was
a lie, but nonetheless, this is how I thought of him.

This is inspiring, I love to read poetry that expresses the appreciation for other, and what makes them who they are
