I'm holding on like
everything comes alive
in the holding.
I am sinking my claws
into hope, it's how I break the tide
without breaking the law,
I am holding on because,
yes, I can't feel a thing, but
that doesn't mean I'm not alive,
I wasn't born to sink (I was born
to dive).
There are monsters
in these waters, but
it doesn't matter anymore
I have seen the danger
in hugging the
promises of the shore and I
would be happier a dead man:
I'm holding on with everything
I can,
something burns
in the center of my gut, and maybe
I don't know what,
but I think it's the closest thing
to truth that I've got.
And I am holding on to wonder
with a titan's grip -
I am all tears and thunder,
I'm an advocate for splendor
I am singing, and the winter
is furious, but I am fire
and I will not let go...
we are only as strong
as our will to fight the apathy
with light.
Please tell me what you think

There is quite an anthemic feel here as i read this.
To not raise the flag of surrender but be proactive enough to do something about it with a burning passion!

Remove the "am" ...
in the first line. Shame on you.
You should be better at proofreading than that.
This is an intriguing write. Is it the one you mentioned to me? If so, I don't see why you are worrying about it. It's very good.

I'm in a similar place; love that second stanza. Very appropriate. I think I know what you're going through. Hope you're well. -- Justin

Hey I forgot about this site...oh and this...nicely done Corey.

Best opening line I've read in a while, and a great ending sentence.
"something burns
in the center of my gut, and maybe
I don't know what,
but I think it's the closest thing
to truth that I've got."
