Hold on

Hold on

A Poem by Farhan Shaikh

He's been holding on
Though this road is so long,
Got himself book and a pen
Writing it into the song.

His eyelashes dropping
And his tears were freezing,
And he still kept moving
Shaking the dust from his feet.

He knows he is broken down
And that's how the light gets in
prevent himself from falling in the chasm
When sunrise will hit his skin

As he was walking in the open prison
A prison of the mind
As he was sitting in the dark
And seeing the world's lightning

Amazing depth and insight- as long as you keep moving on- leaving behind what’s not meant to be - better is in its way - yes the light gets in through the cracks- well worded🌹

It shows the courage you have despite the darkness and sadness.
Description and your expressions are good. Most of your poems have the similar theme and your undying hope is what will make you rise one day. As your title says, 'Hold on' and be strong.
