To The You Who's Still Holding On Poem by Vanessa Dizon Alvarez

To the you beneath the heavy skies,
Who hides the ache behind your eyes.
To the you who walks through rain alone,
And wonders when the light has flown.

To the you who feels unseen, unheard,
Who doubts the power of your word.
To the you who's tired, worn, and small,
Yet still finds strength to stand at all.

You are the spark in shadow's breath,
The quiet fight that cheats regret.
You are the warmth the world forgot,
The miracle they almost caught.

You are the hope that storms can't drown,
The soul that rises when it's down.
You are the time that's yet to bloom,
The light that dances through the gloom.

So hold on tight, the tide will turn—
The fire in you still dares to burn.
You're not alone, you're not too late
Your story bends but won't break fate.
