My Family Poem by yeya chavez

my family is the only thing that keeps me standing on my feet,
they are the reason why i continue to breathe air in my lungs,
they've shaped me and formed me into who i am today.
they are the whiteout to my mistakes,
i dont know what i would do without them,
they are a scar in my soul never to be cleared,
and permanent markings on my heart never to be smeared.
they've been on my shoulders like angels from the heavens above,
yet, theres something that we all got in common and thats sharing our love.
