don't you see?
i'm a mess

i'm a bunch
of broken pieces
that haven't been glued
together yet

i'm a puzzle
that's unsolvable

i'm that stressful
math equation
that causes you sweating
in class

i am a mess

like yarn
i am tied together
tangled
and have yet to be unraveled

i am waiting
for someone
to unravel me

use me as
the red lines
to help pinpoint
a mystery

to help find that
ancient artifact

to answer the question
of "who done it?"

i am this
thin piece of string
waiting to be put
through a needle

to be bunched with
as i am turned into a
badge

that could be a badge of honor

that could be on a backpack
that could be on your uniform

i could be the
thread in your crest
that you have your pride in

if i wasn't so hard to use
if i didn't rip easily

you see
i am a mess

trying to follow
these lines to a tee

and i lose more
parts of myself
when i am free

i am a mess
that needs to be "deemed" worthy

but who would do that for me?
