Wait for it…hold on another minute hour day
week. Year. Hold on and hold this and hold please while
you wait and wait and. Hold on.
Hold in.
Swing higher, and don't let go. Hold tighter and don't look down.
And here, hold this while I do this do that
do something else entirely.
Because I cannot do this and hold this. I cannot do
that and hold on. I cannot be that and hold the reins. I cannot
be me and hold onto everything else. And you.
So.
I hold
my breath
and jump
fly
free
I hold you always in my heart, but I open
my hands and let go.
