Hold on



Feel the weight of my silence,
I swim from my ocean's past,
I argue with the wind,
Covered with that verse that I hate,
I travel to my faint space,
Searching for my borrowed corner,
My pace is invisible, deliberate is my step,
Mistake is my reflection, taken for the night,
Match with a cause,
Shelter is my function,
My odd is my curse.
