Someone Is Holding Me
I felt my legs falling many a times
and managed to steady them
from the frailties of life.
Someone is holding me.
Three times I awoke trapped
In my bed. I tried to cry out
my body numb instead
Someone is holding me
My mind is awakened, but I can't
move my hands, is it paralysis
am I suppose to be dead?
I think I'm still here, are you?
Someone is holding me
My eyes are awake, I don't see any gates
any clouds, or angels, just a blank slate.
am I starting over, but I'm still awake
Someone is holding me
I need to get up for my work is not done
I lifted a finger and then a thumb.
I awake from my dream, no longer numb,
paralyzed by what our world has become.
Someone is holding me
Is it you???
