The Strings

The knot is strong,
The strings are tight.
It won't break loose,
No matter how much I fight.

The grip is fierce,
Disgusted in every tear.
I wish to overcome
This emptiness of fear.

I know once on my own,
I might not survive.
But there is a mere chance
For me to be alive.

The cost of losing the bond
Could be my biggest mistake.

But I am done living A life I can no longer fake.
