Tribute to Anne Frank
The world should be honored with freedom
The Franks were there for over 2 years, yearning for change, something new
The attic was like an owl, silent as ever and ever to come
But the attic kept the memories, whispering only the truth
Laughter
Tears
Fights
Joy
Anne knew the golden gate of her words could transport her to a safe place
She could visualize that place like a beacon of light
Her diary held the secrets big enough to fill an elephant trunk to tail
A secret not so hidden.
She favored her father so much that sometimes
she felt like a dog after it bites its owner
Guilt would flood her like a plagued river
Anne tried so hard to enjoy her time
But her inevitable fate was a raven
Anne had no care for that
for she smiled out the single window with a glorious grin that plastered her face
She wished to be free
Free from the box of the soundless attic
Anne and her family were freed from that box
But that freedom did not last long
Her father was the only to survive
It was the sour aftertaste of a horrid memory
It was as if death gripped it’s wretched, cold fingers around Anne and her family
Anne valued hope
As the world grew older her outlook sprung forward
It forgot to bring Anne along,
leaving the person who lifted the rain with her umbrella of imagination behind
Anne could see her freedom
That is why she had hope
We can bear witness to what happened by sharing her story
Not the story of the bad side of the world
But her story
Anne should have been honored with freedom
