Holding Back

If feelings were a glass mine would have been broken As I have felt many pain not just pain of hurt But pain of been looked down But I am holding back I hold in my heart things that are way too big I hold words that can destroy another soul The soul that live by hope But I am holding back Back in the days of joy where nothing was beyond reach I was paralysed with happiness back in the days The days that were so short But now they are long as years As I am holding back Holding back to the hope that things will change Holding back to words that have nurtured me With the hope that I too could be the words That everyone wants to hold on to.
