The Things We Cling To
May 29, 2024
We cling to hopes
We cling to dreams
Desperate to stay afloat
When life comes apart at the seams
We cling to love
We cling to hate
Although different choices
Bring us different fates
We cling to life
To stave off death
We cling to youth
With bated breath
We cling to money
We cling to possessions
Until these desires
Become obsessions
We cling to addictions
Crave how they make us feel
But instead we lose touch
With what is true and real
But the things we cling to
Weigh us down
Mill stones that sink us
And make us drown
So cling to god
And cling to belief
For only faith
Will bring your soul relief
