Holding On

Are there reasons why we all hold on?
Knowing well where the path shall lead to…
Finding a place perhaps to feel belong
Yet strangers we are to everyone we knew

The world isn’t at all so small
Simply too kept we all belong to be
Limited to means became things to adore
With strangers chanting for what couldn’t be

And to face with ever moving time
We can only move on with dire hopes to bear
Reasons learnt for acceptances to remind
For every one humanity… life isn’t at all fair

I have seen things others may not
Where others see things I may have pass
To understand remains an utterly thought
Yet… living a wanting life can one ask?

Perhaps of reasons we know to hold on
Wherever the end path may well lead us to be
Moments for places to feel belong
As strangers… are we all not simply humanity to be
