When I’m done
with this pattern,
I’ll knit
another one
that knows
exactly how
to keep
me hanging
by a thread.
This poem is about a battle I've been fighting my whole life: self-destruction. It's so sneaky and so complex, with false beliefs rooted in pain from the past. It's a journey to unravel these habits. One that trips me up all the time.

Learn to love your tears.
They are
falling
for
you.

Others
may try to
chime in,
but you’re
the only
one who
can dance
to your
song.
