Tears fall
as I unravel
and nothing is
there to hold
me together

I started with stitching
myself back together
and using intricate
patches

but I can’t keep
up with the wounds
I’m reduced
to using twist ties and
scotch tape and they are not
holding

makeshift bandages are not
strong enough to hold
together my
weakness, my brokenness

tears fall as
I unravel
and nothing here
can hold me
together
