Barely Holdin' On

MikkiTarz

Gone are the days when feeling down was regarded as a sign of weakness. These days, people are becoming increasingly open about their emotions, recognizing that we all have our moments of vulnerability. Navigating the deep waters of pain can be incredibly challenging, but as we continue to reach out and seek support, we find ourselves gradually moving towards the shores of resilience.

This post is inspired by the numerous songs, articles, stories, and movies that depict the struggles people face and how they manage to persevere. Even when it feels like we're barely holding on, it's important to acknowledge that we're still holding on.

To those days when you feel like you're teetering on the edge, remember to hang in there. Your strength lies not just in staying afloat but in the journey itself, as you navigate the depths and resurface stronger than ever before.

Poem inspired by the song: Barely Holdin’ On - Polo G

In life's relentless storm, I find myself,

Barely holdin' on, like a book on a dusty shelf.

The weight of burdens, like anchors, weigh me down,

But I'll stand strong, even when I feel I'll drown.

Through the darkest night, I search for the dawn,

Barely holdin' on, as hope's fragile fawn.

The shadows may linger, but I'll find my way,

For I believe in a brighter, sunnier day.

In the depths of despair, I'll not be consumed,

Barely holdin' on, in the face of what's loomed.

With each passing trial, I'll learn and I'll grow,

For it's through life's challenges that strength will bestow.

Though my spirit may falter, and my heart may ache,

Barely holdin' on, in this journey I'll partake.

I'll muster my courage, my will to be strong,

For I know that in adversity, I truly belong.

So, when life feels heavy, and the road seems long,

Remember this spirit, barely holdin' on,

It's a testament to resilience, the human song,

We'll persevere, we'll endure, and emerge, ever strong.

Reminds me of the saying ''its okay not to be okay'' and that being vulnerable is part if being human. Nice piece @MikkiTarz
