Thoughts Turning to Ink on Paper

The Unraveling Thread

The thread is unraveling,

Unraveling so fast

I can barely keep up 

The ball of thread moving too fast

For me to catch my breath

Anxiety, Fear, and Depression

Overwhelming all the senses

Causing me to become not myself

The opposite of how I want to be 

I want to be liberated from these emotions, 

I want to be me, 

I want to not lose myself,

I don't want to become a shell

A piece of string that has come fully undone

The ball is getting smaller and smaller

Taking my whole self with it

Making me doubt, 

Doubt I can ravel myself together

Into a whole ball of thread

I'm holding on the best I can 

Trying to slow the momentum, 

Trying to keep my sanity for a while longer, 

Trying to not break fully

I'm already broken and torn apart, 

I can't be more damaged and unraveled

It's too much for me to bare

The pressure alone 

Is unraveling my soul, my mind

I'm barely hanging on by a thread
