Taylor Swift has shared an unexpected offering with fans this week, a poem titled “The Trick to Holding On.” Swift appears on the cover of the January edition of Vogue magazine and instead of giving an interview to the mag, she elected to share her musings on self-confidence and respect. “The only thing cut and dry/ In this hedge-maze life/ Is the fact that their words will cut/ but your tears will dry,” she ends the first stanza. She becomes hopeful, however, in the knowledge that pain is temporary: “But tonight your hand is steady/ Suddenly you’ll know/ The trick to holding on/ Was all that letting go,” she concludes. The Trick to Holding On Let go of the ones who hurt you Let go of the ones you outgrow Let go of the words they hurl your way as you’re walking out the door The only thing cut and dry In this hedge-maze life Is the fact that their words will cut but your tears will dry They don’t tell you this when you are young You can’t hold on to everything Can’t show up for everyone You pick your poison Or your cure Phone numbers you know by heart And the ones you don’t answer any more Hold on to the faint recognition in the eye of a stranger As it catches you in its lustrous net How quickly we become intertwined How wonderful it is to forget All the times your intuition failed you But it hasn’t killed you yet Hold on to childlike whims and moonlight swims and your blazing self-respect And if you drive the roads of this town Ones you’ve gone down so many times before flashback to all the times Life nearly ran you off the road But tonight your hand is steady Suddenly you’ll know The trick to holding on Was all that letting go Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com.
