My Body Holds

I will not drink the darkness, I will not lose control. Yes, time consumes us all, but I am strong throughout and I refuse; I must. My souls on fire, yet my body holds, my mind has left me, but my body holds. Tomorrow will surely come, I know, with new surprises and new hopes, and I know I must go on.

If I drink I win, I'll be unstopable, but no no; I wont. I know once I do the pain will stop, and I will walk without fear wheresoever I go; what creature will then stand against me that I cannot destroy? No, I know I musn't; I won't.

Why be strong if I can't feel? That's the price it's worth and well, it's just not something I can afford. Why should I? I won't. I like being just human; I can't afford this either, but somehow it works. Yeah I've been through a lot, but look, my body holds.

My heart, the traitor, doesn't even feel like beating no more. Rest easy my good friend, but don't forget to go on. Yes, a traitor and a friend he is, but damn, I love him so, that's probably why I always listen even when I know he's wrong. He doesn't think he's strong, but he's wrong, he's wrong; he makes my body hold.

Thanks! =]

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
