Knots

Pull this knotted string to
loosen the hold

The links in the chain
twist and tangle regardless

Asked to wear this 
shackled existence

So shiny
So pretty

Yet, so empty
and lifeless 
you can't even feel 
me pulling

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
