This morning, my cat unraveled a ball of yarn
As I picked it up, I realized
I am like that ball of yarn
You have to unravel me to find the good
From the outside I appear to be heartless
But that’s only because no one’s ever unraveled me
From the secrets my heart holds
My journal is the only thing I turn to
That won’t laugh at my mistakes
You gotta take my string
And unravel me from my secrets
I’m a ball of yarn
But one ones unraveled me
My heart is where the ball begins
Then it wraps around
Until it’s visible to the outside
I’m not asking for much . . .
Just for someone to unravel me.

Very interesting, in the beginning it was like a story that turned into a poem. The poem itself unraveled like a ball of yarn. Thanks for sharing.

Nice poem here....a bit of deepness and I liked it!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Nice analogy... I really like the way you encompassed yourself with a ball of yarn. Interesting read... Thanks for sharing. I liked this.
