Yolanda Scott Poet Rhyme

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???
