Hope and power

An anklet, so small, yet so important.
From a special person,
who passed down all their hope and knowledge.
It’s power making everything safe.
Like a fish in the ocean,
It kept me safe from the sharks.
There are still tears,
There are still bruises
But the power of the leather wrapped around
My ankle is too great of anything to defeat.
Even the power of my feelings couldn’t take it down
It alters my negative thoughts
To make me believe I can,
Because of this anklet I can.
