Poem -

They Say, I say

I was told not to hold on to what is not mine

But not on my left or right hand

But in both hands I held on

Holding on tight I still did

It is mine

I was warned to let go

It hurts, it burns, it bites, it kills

But through my thoughts I locked it in

Locking it hidden, I grew and it grew

No I wont let go

Selfishly, I was noted to be crazy

Dreams are crazy but true,

I was told to forget

It runs in reality

In me it runs in my blood

I memorised every minute of it

A memory, not forgettable

No I’m not crazy

I been judged as desperation at its best cost

But I still stood claiming,

I still stood and creating my way forward

Hands closed, thoughts locked, memories created

I felt it all growing, I grew

No I’m not desperate

I was adviced to give up

Am I nuts? Are you lost?

No word written on this earth as a choice to give up

Directions were swollen from better to temptation

I passed through best temptations

Gave in deeply

No I wont give up

I attracted, I collected,

I created, I planned and built

I renovated, I invested

In that dream alone

From a reality to a fantasy now a dream

I am not giving out!

they said, But I say....to be continued

Oh this is indeed beautiful and complex poetry....Bridgette it compels the reader to ponder the conclusion, to this brilliant stream, you really rock the internal dialogue....I'm def. learning a thing or two from how you wrote this and your 'hit the road'  approach to poetry in general, very freeing and fearless....cheers
