Hold your own hand Sarah Because no one is going to hold it for you No one is going to hold it for you No one is going to hold it for you No one is going to be there for you when you need it the most No Sometimes You're going to be alone So hold your own hand Sarah When no one else will at least you will have yourself Your strength Rivals that of 1000 bulls And When your hands come together You can harness that The strength your mother Infused into your bones Interlocking fingers twisted together in a lonely vigil their only company the half painted fingernails that adorn them Fingernails That can only ever scratch the surface of the potential you possess You Have potential An unknown future laid out in front of you Scaring you away from possible opportunities Hold your own hand Sarah Stop Second guessing your abilities You Look at yourself in the mirror And see A beautiful person Hidden By a mask of pretty features You Are chaos. A Fire burning With Invisible flames Only you can see. Your Beauty is visible But only to yourself Others Don't see the real you. While You see flames dancing They See a brick wall with no doors No windows No way in Your Mind a forbidden garden Except No one even knows it exists See How can anyone want in on something When they don't even know it exists Do you even know I exist? Hold your own hand Sarah Hold my hand Sarah Your consciousness Witnessing all your poor decisions More divisions, all created by you Distancing yourself from those you love most And blaming it on them Blaming it on time Even though you never seem to know how to spend yours productively Hold my hand Sarah Maybe if you Grabbed hold of yourself Grabbed hold of your mind Territory that's mine Then you'd figure a thing or two out about how to Straighten yourself out. Hold my hand Sarah I promise I'll never let you down if you would just Hold my hand Sarah Because we both know I have never let you down And we both know That together We can be stronger Than ever before.
I started this at work and made myself memorize the beginning so I could write it down after my shift. I'm surprised I actually remembered a poem idea for once
