PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Hold on 

To who you are
For your truth
Is worth more

Than it's weight

In gold

When it comes

To a world
Hell bent on
Nothing short

Of stripping it away 
Your words 
Become 
Currency

As your thoughts
Are hot
Commodity
As you wonder

If even one

Person
Who claims

To be listening

Is even hearing

A single

Fucking 
Word
You have to say 

Hold on
And speak on
Anyway
Speak up
And keep on talking

If no one 
Is listening

Make them listen 
Demand to

Be heard
Just don't forget
At the end
Of the day
It does go
Both ways
If you want

To be heard
Then hear others

For even the

Best teachers

Cannot truly teach
Without also
Learning from those

They are trying

To reach
Learn from
The world
And never forget

Who you are

Just keep
Holding on
Rise up
Speak up
Listen and learn
Be proud 
Of who you are
Hold on
