Emotions Like Knots

Like a tangled mess, stubborn knots Emotions like this exist in me a lot I begin to untangle, starting with ease Relaxed in the moment, some therapy Then I get stuck here and there in spots Following the string in its twisted path Two steps forward then one step back Testing how far I will stay on this track Lots of twisted, turns and loops Emotions swirling like hula hoops It’s just a knot, that’s all it is Why get worked up deep to my core Emotions are just like a knot at times Carrying them subconsciously all our life Taking us on a roller coaster ride To places we hide, places that are new Maybe if I dealt with, understood my emotions Then maybe my knots wouldn’t be so hard to undo!
