I Don’t Hold It

Frame: Endurance
Collection: Normal Conditions
Track: 6
Duration: 3:50

A quiet moment of lowered guard, where Nora allows feeling to appear without arranging or protecting it. Endurance shows here as staying present while unshielded.

I don’t hold it
The way I did

I leave things
Where they land

I don’t move them
Into place

If something shows
I let it

I don’t step back
In time

—

My voice reaches
Before I decide

I hear it
As it happens

I don’t prepare
My face

I forget
To correct it

—

The weight is still there
But lower

Not lighter
Just closer

I stand where I am
And stay

I don’t explain
Why

I don’t hold it
I don’t shape it

If it shows
It shows
