The Thoughts & Feelings I Want You to Know.

habits.

i always tie my laces

as tight as possible. 

loops over loops. 

knots over knots.

all in hopes

of keeping them together. 

blisters over blisters.

scratches over scratches.

all in hopes

of keeping what i think i want.

i bear through all the pain 

but it hurts so much

that my feet start bleeding.

maybe it's best

if i just this loose.
