Entangled
A Poem
It’s hard to get out of my own way Tripped up by remnants of unaccomplished goals and misplaced to-do lists with no checkmarks I’m entangled by myself Held tight from within, restrained, but also constrained by society and what I think it thinks of me for playing outside of the sandbox
Ropes pull tighter, whether imaginary or not, and keep me captive and quiet afraid to ask for help but screaming inside to break free of this tangled web A corded encapsulation with me as the pill Holding still so as not to disrupt the universe
Bind me to my tether and tangle me deeper so I have no excuse but to sit still, stoic in the face of fear, heroic in the face of absolutely no one because all I am doing is allowing myself to stay entangled
