With my words

I’m holding on

By Steve RichardPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

In this pen dance .. I create sparks to fire up my independence.. Free to lay down words as I wish ..

Words inspire me to vibe with others .. From a safe distance .. connecting if given the chance .. Do you feel anything besides this?

Uplifting you want ? Reality I know .. we can only do so much.. Speaking from feeling.. I’m unwilling to conjure up triggers .. We’re you worried ? I send out love to see if it delivers ..

Do you know what it all means ? No? That figures .. I can’t hold you in a lesser regard .. I follow this train of thought .. Don’t think so hard .. See what happens ..

A unspecified disturbance .. coming forth .. so is this already a intrusion ? My pains are created by your illusions .. Bleeding out of my hearts contusion .. is there still confusion ?

How am I holding on ?

Crowded along theses faded lines awaiting for it to all become clear why this surface is swelling ? Set to break through .. Rise at strengths peak.. I’m so weak beneath my feet ..

Holding on with my words ..
