To the people we love group 6 days, 6 hours ago Forged from Love
Yasmina MroueLoved ones surround me,
Their eyes soft with hope—
Heart-shaped and heavy.
They dream I’ll become
What they never could.Expectations chain me,
But still, I love them—
How could I not,
When they stand so proud,
Their backs straight with belief?Yet maybe, in their gaze,
There’s more than weight—
There’s warmth.
And maybe I can become
Not what they were,
But something just as bright.I’ll rise—not as their echo,
But as their answered prayer.
A voice forged from silence,
A path that’s mine alone.
Carrying their hopes
Not as chains—
But as wings.
Yasmina, I love this! My favorite line of yours is “I’ll rise—not as their echo,
But as their answered prayer.” It is easy to feel the need to fill the shoes of those who came before you. But maybe you want to buy new shoes instead of reusing the old ones! That’s okay! We all create our legacy, and others get to choose whether or not they want to be a part of it.
