HOLDING ON
Courage, fear, joy and sadness all intertwined
The battle rages on for control of my mind
And like a fortress keeping invaders back
There is a possibility these strong walls may crack
Hold the fort! Hold the fort! Go out my cries
As my heart lets out a teary sad sigh
Reinforcements I hope will arrive tomorrow
But today I do all I can to fight this sorrow
I see them out there with their sharpened daggers
Waiting for the moment that I should stagger
Watching for the wall to fall apart
So they can plunge their blades into my heart
Time passes but grief still holds me tight
My mind exhausted no longer wants to fight
I fear I may be losing my futures sight
And still I hold to the promise of a coming light
Still I hold, still I hold and still I hold...

We post hoping someone may relate to our poems. Hoping someone may understand. And this is one I can relate to big time.
Well done.
Looking forward to sharing more.

I welcome you first to the den, many blessings to you.
First, I read your other poem when William posted it, and I loved it. This one is a bit more intense...The one thing that stands out to me, is how well your passion for survival and lightness is felt throughout this poem. I look forward to reading more works from such a talented poet.
Much peace, love, and light,
