Mountain of Thoughts.
I reach out
to you,
just needing
to be held.

Just needing
the confirmation
of that feeling.
Just to know,
that i’m wanted
by you.

I reach out
and express
myself,
to the best
of my ability.
Holding out,
for an answer,
for a response
of some kind.

I anxiously await
some type of
communication.
Knowing,
deep down
if it’s meant
to be, it will be.

Yet inside,
i know that
we can
only ever be,
our own,
beacons of light.

Answering
our own prayers.
Being there
for ourselves
and being
accountable
to ourselves.

Within this
mountain
of thoughts
that i carry,
i roam,
far and wide.

Searching.
Reaching,
holding on
and calling out.
It’s a basic reaction,
to my internal
and extreme
emotional function.

That’s forever
moving back
and forth.
Flying round,
like a boomerang.
Always,
finding me again.

Within this
mountain
of thoughts
that i carry,
i roam,
far and wide.

Forever searching.
Forever needing.
Forever calling out.
Forever, reaching.
While, at the
same time.
Just, simply
trying to
hold on.
