It should've taken me seconds
To unhook this rusting bracelet
It should've taken me seconds
To just take it off and let it go
But instead I took hours
Hours fiddling,
Trying
So desperately
To free myself from its grasp
Itching to get it off
Restless,
I sit, tugging
On the charms weighing me
Down by each passing second
I don't understand
It should've taken me seconds
But instead I took days
Days choking
On the charms that used to be
My wrist is scratched, broken
My hands are red, tired
Eyes focused and
Mind set
On letting go
of the one thing pulling me down
I want it off
So why
Why can't I do it
I don't understand
It should have taken me seconds
