Quatrain of Holding Back
Holding Back - go ahead, waste
your life
I sat on myself to hold me down,
I didn't think I could
actually do
it.
I was born an hour late, I didn't
think my mother
wanted to
commit.
I didn't think I was smart enough
to know how much
was left to
learn,
I spent my life holding back ambition,
too timid to love, too
scared to
yearn.
