People hold on dearly to
Insignificant events & things
In the hope of
Having meaning in life
People hold on dearly to
Irreconcilable ideas & inane thoughts
In the hope of
Feeling ahead of others
People hold on dearly to
Invisible beings & inexplicable phenomenons
In the hope of
Understanding some larger wisdom
People hold on dearly to
Irredeemable relations & uncaring others
In the hope of
Being seen good in others’ eyes
Hold on or don’t hold on
It only matters if doing so
Helped one get temporary respite
From the looming oblivion
