#holdon
Hold onto the flapping sails
Even if harsh winds blow
Hold on to your sea worthy ship
Even if the turbulent waters threaten to tip it
Hold on to your heart’s desire
Even if it feels like you can’t achieve it
Hold on to your hope
Even if there is no one left to find you
Hold on to the memories
Even when everyone else has forgotten

Sometimes, it feels like life
would be so much easier if I could just believe. Believe that it's all going to be alright.
Believe that it's worth it
to fight for what you want.
That it makes a difference if you stand up.
That there's a heaven,
and we know what it's like there.
Hell, if I could believe in myself.
But life can only rock your boat so many times before that little voice in your head whispers "what's the point?" The point is...security.
while it can be redundant,
there is so much uncertainty. Unpredictability. It's no wonder so many people
struggle with anxiety.
But if you believe,
at least you have something to hold on to.

I have a heart with a hole
like a strainer in my soul
so I hold to larger hope
I have desires so deep
and the climb is so steep
I hold to a longer rope
I have darkness deep down
fog of fear hides the ground
I hold stronger along the slope
To have and to hold
one thing I am told
*you have just enough hold
to cope*.

I know. I've been holding on
to things I should let go of.
Lost memories. Lost life. Lost love.
But, as scary and painful as it can be
being lost in the past, knowing how evanescent the mind can be, a future without them somehow seems worse.

No pressure to be up today,
blessed or cursed, hold on
the hands in yours may be tiny,
of passion, steady, familiar,
frail or memorial
they touch the same
and need you here x

They say that sometimes,
silence says more than words ever could. Which is good.
Because right now, I can't think of any words that could comfort you.
I can't think of any words
you haven't heard a million times before.
So, for once, I'll let Silence take the floor
and hold you in my arms and my heart forevermore.

Your sick incarceration
held against a shining will
‘til unmoored you walked
a light you couldn’t see,
that lifted others,
dimmed
each step seeming free
with inexorable gravity
drew to the woods
your last embrace
brought cold release
and all our griefs became

A day will soon come when you will wake
after a full, unbroken night
with no asides other than kooky dreams,
and materials for breakfast
will be at hand and in date
and your plans will be loose
and peopled with easy love
and activities that boost your soul
the weather will be just the way you like it:
that crisp, bright, balmy, bracing, intoxicating kiss
you’re perfectly dressed for
the memories you carve will remain
to glow in the dark
like the stars on your bedroom ceiling
a day like this will come again
so hold on my loves,
hold on

I'm leading my way in my own grief. Pretending to be nowhere but the truth is I'm fully wide-eyed. A lot of what ifs? What if I let go? What if I won't? What if I pretend that nothing happens? What if I stop chasing? What if i stop caring? What if we shouldn't met? And what if I shouldn't love you? Does the waves stop? Does the floods can go back to its rightful placed? or does the moon and sun can be together? I know it's impossible but I'm still trying to hold on with someone whom I couldn't have.

Cast forward to those first days
where half clad trees
coax memories of freshness
though you’ve stepped out
wrapped still in winter blues,
insistent sun and boisterous green
beguile you to disrobe
and give skin to this
welcome discomfort
at being over-encumbered
as the new season embraces,
the shedding can begin

Its not always easy to be patient,
I know
They tell you it gets better
But they don't tell you when
Its not always easy to wake up,
I know
You keep doing it anyways, but sometimes your bed feels like quicksand and you just barely make it out.
Some days, you don't make it out,
I know.
Some days you sink so deep into your sorrows that suddenly you're drowning in an ocean of hopelessness and your bed is the only place safe enough to land.
It's exhausting some days,
I know.
You go to work and you put on a smile even though everything inside you is falling apart, and they don't see,
I know.
You wonder how much longer you can keep pretending things are fine
But they keep saying that things get better
And you want to believe them,
I know
You want to find your way back to the surface, that is a life you're not just surviving, but actually living
I know
I know you want to get better. And I know right now you are struggling and I know that on the days where the only thing you accomplished was simply breathing, you feel like a failure, but hunny you are the exact opposite of that.
You are a fighter.
You are a survivor.
You are braver than anyone will ever know, surviving constant battles clawing at your mind every second of every day.
This does not make you weak my love.
This makes you strong.
I know people keep saying that things get better,
But they never tell you when.
You just have to take it one step at a time.
Pride yourself on accomplishing the little things that don't seem important in the grand scheme of things, but they are the things that are keeping you alive.
One step at a time my love,
One breath, one hour, one morning, one shopping trip, one shower, one day.
Some day, I promise you
All of these little things will eventually lead you back to the light.
Back to being hopeful for tomorrow's.
I know,

When
The whole world
Sleeps
Wake up
Align
And witness
How
The starry night
With a rare beauty
Greets
A warm treat

Rest as a remedy,
forced to stay put,
instead of filling my head and feet with
a million next steps
and very necessary jobs and concerns,
I have to sit
the normal distractions
I covet in the pell-mell of things,
box sets, deep cuts, long reads, levelling up,
lose lustre fast
I glaze-stare at the fictional tree line
ticks trickling to tocks
From deep below I hear the slow plod
thudded footfalls of ‘those’ thoughts,
sensing a weakness in the barricades,
heaving down the drawbridge
usually bound firm by chains of daily grind,
LED light show and the world’s digital caterwaul
My busted foot has robbed my nimbleness,
unable to glance, sidestep or dance aside,
our eyes catch and fix,
like the titans of the twilight
their inexorable, gargantuan tread reaches me
I put up a pathetic wrestle
before I am pinned by the weight
long past the three count
frantically tapping on the mat
my morse SOS growing weak
Please Doc,
just give me a dose of elixir so they’ll retreat
and my broken *** will ride
a frivolous winged horse
back to safe and anxious ground

no actually im happy that you forget me
cause im the one who cause you pain
when you knew that you can't hold on to me

Just hold on
It will be alright
Just stay strong
You can win this fight
Just keep going
Till the morning light
Just keep warm
I’ll hold you close tonight

He plays himself
With a mask like soaked clay
And faux tears on-command,
All you can do to cope with the hindsight
Is to say you were brave for sticking with it
When you weren't brave enough for the alternative,
Voice like a whisky-croak and words that
Ring of sweet nothings but really mean nothing at all.
Blood on the carpet. Never coming off
And never failing to remind you of what you did and didn't
do wrong.
You figured you'd make boredom into something
Less important but the meaning of any philosophy
Is dependant on the day and the weight of the past it carries--
**** it
Bassline stranded on the boderline, that is to say
Stuck and unfixable. That's part of growing, right?
Dealing with it and moving on, forming a character
From a tortuous pantomine; doing the impossible in
Ameliorating light strictly with the tools given to you
by the dark room you were raised in. Rise or sink.
It was out of your hands, your actions moving forward
Is all that has to matter now.
Just hold on until tomorrow.

Another day here.
Another day gone.
Another day wishing
I had somewhere I belonged.
Another day comes.
Another day goes.
Another day with nothing to show.
Another day begins.
Another day ends.
Another day with no new friends.
But in spite of it all,
I still hold on to hope
That someday, someone will help me
Be more like a river
And less like a wall

I'm not here to tell you
how to live your life.
All I ask is that
you don't look at the knife
With admiration or longing.
Because there's so much coming
That you can't see.
So please hold on.
If not for you, for me.

The dreams of lovers are like good wine
They bring joy or also sorrow
Weakened by your absence ,
I am unhappy
Writing you a beautiful poem
is all that I can
Because nothing is for free in life
Hope is a plate far too quickly consumed
I am used to skipping the meal
A solitary thief is sad to eat
On our game so complicated
I can't succeed
Because nothing is for free in life,
Life,Never will they tell me
That the course of the stars:
it's not for me
Let me amaze you and take our flight
We can finally be happy
I want to be with you
through thick and thin
And the celebration
will finally begin,
Get the bottles; end the strife
I lay the table of my new life
I am glad about the idea of our fate
We both know that this isn't easy but,
I'm happy to be with you in this fight
A life of hiding and then finally free
The feast is on my way
Our life of hiding and
then finally will be free
The feast is on our way

Life goes on
Our own world
Keeps going on
Revolving
Rotating
Providing
Many opportunity
That
For I know
Will be beautifully
Evolving to be
meant to me,
Girl you are
Meant for me
We just need
To hold on
While
Life goes on
We don't need to
Move on
We just need to
Hold on
And if you are really meant
To be with me
Then, We will be,
For now
I will leave it
All to destiny
But I promise
Girl, in forever
You and I
Will be together
And so life goes on

You've got the soul
through the fire
Burning out the lights
Hold on
Hold on
To something true.

Just pretend you love me
Just hold on
Please
Everything is so much scarier in the dark, love.
