One Stitch At a Time

dedicated… to this hurt to this pain until you ask me why? I cannot explain and I want to tear my heart OUT! and show you everything that I am.. not the edges frayed tattered because I let them in gave each of them the sharpest scissors hoping for curled up edges like Christmas ribbon instead I am unraveled like your favorite sweater I want you to be angry… I ruined your hope of perfection just put me in your keepsake box with all the other possibilities the could-have-beens the almost maybes but you offer me the most beautiful golden thread.. fix yourself, you say but I can’t sew and I feel useless once again… until you take my hand in yours and teach me .. . One stitch at A Time
