Things that hold me Back

Wrapped Around the Fear

By: Jordan Jarvis

Spiders, monsters, and thunder

childish fears that come and go

these others seem to stay

With each time the waves hit against my body

the cold peircing it, wind blowing sand traveling

I let go i saw my little young life flash before my simple eyes.

I Screamed, i cried, i prayed

that this wouldn't be my last time seeing my mom

it wouldn't be my last time holding on to my brother

its fear now.

Embrace the fear

feel the pain wash away with each wave

it doesn't seem to leave

no matter how deep i go

11:11 make a wish

wish for the same thing everytime...Love

Hear the horn, and then its there

that light it was so bright

Europe never going

Things left unsaid

Marriage never had a husband to call my own.

All Flashed before me

We pushed through

made it so that light never hit us

the train never rolled on into us

The tears never washed away

the pain

the fear

the things that held me back

I feel as if train tracks will never seem the same

as if that ocean breeze, and building sand castle

will ever be an escape.

The Things that hold me back

the waves keep coming in and out

the trains keep rolling by

but the fears still stay inside

It seems i will be wrapped around the fear
