Holding on

I’m just Holding on, Just holding on tight, like its a bad dream.
where my fears come reality and try to swallow me whole.
where my heart pounds in my chest, hard and fast.
where the tears well up in my eyes, threatening to fall delicately down my face.
its like a bad dream where my knees go week,
where my stomach swells roughly like the ocean on a cold stormy night.
I’m just Holding on, Just holding on tight, like it’s a bad dream.
