Family Poem

Darry/Pony Relationship

Pony:

Biting words, shattered glass,

This broken family may never last.

He tries too hard- He doesn't know I break.

Soda tried to fix it, to glue us back together again,

Don't know how much more I can take

No use- this house is a broken home, if

I'm not careful I might end up on my own.

Darry:

I can see it-

He's hurting too,

He never did like to argue-

But he does-because he can

He's too young for the burden he bears.

Friends die, young and gallant,

I see him crumble, though he tries to be brave

His heart is broken, can it be saved?

I don't know what to do,

I can't reach him through the armor he wears

This may be too much for him to bear.

Pony:

He pushes too hard,

He wants me to have what he didn't

I'm trying to be all I can be-

But he doesn't see I'm trying,

Cause he's got other worries.

Johnny cried because he hurt

I also hurting bad,

But some scars aren't outside,

They can be inside too,

But I hide them, because Darry can't know I'm sad.

Darry:

Soda cried- we didn't know

The lashing words had hurt him too

They left him bleeding bad

We'll try- for him

But I don't know what else to do

Maybe this is the limit, maybe I've done all I can,

But I can't lose my brothers too.

Their smiles are sun, their laughter is life,

Because then I know I'm doing something right.

I try my best, it gets harder everyday,

Because no matter what I do,

Pony pushes me away

I try to take care of him,

Try to do what's best for him,

But he's growing up,

Can't leash him in,

But if he gets hurt-

What will happen then?

I'll try my best,

Blood is thicker than water,

And the best is still in store.

Smiles instead of words,

Hugs instead of fists,

My brothers are my world.

The puzzle pieces finally fit.

Pony:

The fighting's over,

The storm has calmed.

I'll try to pull us together,

Taking nothing for granted,

Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek,

Because everyday might be the last you ever get.

So watch sunsets, and love the world,

Because you're never alone,

This house will no longer be a broken home.
