Holding on

They said
let go
leave it
move on;
thorn pierced 
your sole
and then you
took it out
and threw away
long back.
So think not 
of it,
Don't hold on to it
Don't look for a thorn
every time you step out
Well, yes, I should do that.
But the pain stabs
and I can't forget
nor do I forget my courage
in holding firm
and pulling things out
and moving on.
i hold on to
myself.
