Chaotic Knots

twisted and tangled
multitudes of chaotic knots
beginning to feel strangled
as my sanity rots
       so many tangled chains
       freedom's just another word
       oppression never refrains
       from bringing more to be endured
it's my own mind that trapped me
then got up and walked away
before tossing away the key
so now, here I am today
       excessively annoyed
       in a desperate fight
       to fill my growing void
       and gain some insight
one knot comes undone
two more get tied
I can't even run
because it can't be denied
        that these knots are mine
        mine and mine only
        I know that I'll be fine
        if I can only deal with me

Nice circular thought here, what starts with you, ends with you and you'd deal with it but your kind of tied up at the moment. I like this Christy, this one really makes me think.
