Holding Out
Jinelle Anne P. Olit Hexagon III: Labbaga Student Entry On my mind If I am not looking back To kill To avoid These dreams of mine Your glances That I attempt to reach In your dimmed seat Am I not listening? Glimpsing sideways To catch If I am holding back A sight of me To veil In my moonlit seat My selfish dreams Am I not looking? To run and hide And not to feel If I am passive in listening To deny To revert What I really desire Those words that you're saying Yet aching anyway In disguised declarations Am I not holding out? That keeps on replaying
