Holding The Sunlight Poem by Emily Krauss

Holding The Sunlight

Rating: 5.0


Up above my head
I hold my arms up high
With the sunlight in my hands

It's as hot as can be
And feels like a burning ball of fire

But I don't really care
I don't care if my hands are burning
For I'm on fire

Blazing down the right path
In my life for once
Knowing what I want,
And going after my dreams, every single one of them

I'm where I want to be
I'm where I need to be
And I'll stay on fire
Accomplishing all that I can accomplish,
Staying strong
And pushing myself to the limits

Up above my head
I hold my arms up high
With the sunlight in my hands


It's as hot as can be
And feels like a burning ball of fire

But I don't really care
I don't care if my hands are burning
For I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire

I don't know how you meant this poem to be, for that is the beauty of poetry; It can mean whatever you want it to. The way I took it was accomplishing your dreams can come with a lot of pain and suffering, but the trouble is worth it. To be all that you can be.
