About the work
Every day I hold myself, somehow,
A broken heart, a whispered vow.
Don’t wanna live anymore, it’s true,
Yet every night I make it through.
Between the urge to disappear,
And a silent prayer I barely hear,
There’s one small breath inside me saying,
Hold on… not today.
I don’t know why I’m holding on,
When every hope feels almost gone,
But something deep won’t let me fall,
A quiet voice, softer than all.
I’m still here, though I don’t know why,
With tired eyes and a restless cry.
I’m still here, against the storm,
Still choosing breath, still staying warm.
Maybe this pain will someday end,
For now, this fight… is my only friend.
Days feel long, nights feel the same,
I smile outside, inside it rains.
I walk the edge of yesterday,
But somehow, I don’t walk away.
Between the dark and a fragile light,
I learn to survive one more night,
And every time I almost break,
I hear my heart say, Stay.
I don’t know why I’m holding on,
But I am… and that’s not wrong.
If all I have is one small spark,
I’ll guard it through this dark.
I’m still here, though I don’t know why,
With shaking hands and silent sighs.
I’m still here, against the pain,
Still choosing life, again and again.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll understand,
For now, surviving… is enough to stand.
And for now… that is enough,
Just breathing in, just being tough.
I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof
I’m still here…
And that is enough.

Title Holding On Somehow
Every day I hold myself, somehow,
A broken heart, a whispered vow.
Don’t wanna live anymore, it’s true,
Yet every night I make it through.
Between the urge to disappear,
And a silent prayer I barely hear,
There’s one small breath inside me saying,
Hold on… not today.
I don’t know why I’m holding on,
When every hope feels almost gone,
But something deep won’t let me fall,
A quiet voice, softer than all.
I’m still here, though I don’t know why,
With tired eyes and a restless cry.
I’m still here, against the storm,
Still choosing breath, still staying warm.
Maybe this pain will someday end,
For now, this fight… is my only friend.
Days feel long, nights feel the same,
I smile outside, inside it rains.
I walk the edge of yesterday,
But somehow, I don’t walk away.
Between the dark and a fragile light,
I learn to survive one more night,
And every time I almost break,
I hear my heart say, Stay.
I don’t know why I’m holding on,
But I am… and that’s not wrong.
If all I have is one small spark,
I’ll guard it through this dark.
I’m still here, though I don’t know why,
With shaking hands and silent sighs.
I’m still here, against the pain,
Still choosing life, again and again.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll understand,
For now, surviving… is enough to stand.
And for now… that is enough,
Just breathing in, just being tough.
I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof
I’m still here…
And that is enough.
