Hold Me Together Poem by jael mboga

Hold me together,
when all seems like the emptiness in the wind,

Hold me together,
when all I am is at my tether's end,
And all I can do is watch from a distance as it all falls apart,

Hold me together,
That's all I ask in this stormy weather,

When all my being threatens to scatter,
and all I am is on the loose,

Hold me together,
for I have been here before,
And I cannot do it again,

Hold me together is all I can say,
Before I break into pieces,
So many I can't find the rest of me,

Hold me together is all I can say,
Bind me to myself,
Make me who I am,
Stick me to my beliefs,
Preach to me my gospel,
Tell me my name,
Say it out loud,

Hold me together so I do not come running,
Walking or crawling,

Hold me,
So hard I'll forget what you are,
What path you take,

Hold me together so I can be me again,

I lost myself once,
I shouldn't do it again,
I won't,

Hold me together,
That's what gift I give me today
