How can I expect to unravel?
When I tied myself up in knots?
The knots are in my back,
my shoulders,
my neck,
where once there were few,
there are lots.
I didn't notice them coiling.
they have tied up
and bound my free will.
They have wound up my body
into a ball,
immobilized me so I'm still.
How can I expect to unravel,
when I can't unwind
my own thread?
Trying to grasp it,
pull it and thread it,
but it deconstructs
in my head.
I tried to thread it through
the wrong needle,
it wouldn't fit through the hole.
Instead of looking through
different eyes,
I made sure it didn't unfold.
How can I expect to unravel,
when I haven't given it a chance?
I fool myself into thinking I have,
but I fail to let go and just dance.
