Unbound

I don't remember 
where these ropes came from
yet here they are

Perhaps they were declarations
dropped in my path
I collected, like a robin,
formed them into a nest

Likelier still, they were
the twine of thin thoughts
I knitted together
wrapped around me
like a security blanket

layer after layer
becoming protective armor

the Light reveals their nature
thick ropes that bind
that suffocate
that steal the freedom
designed for me

strand by strand
the blade of truth
will slice through
these taut thoughts
'til I'm at last

  Thanks! It seems to be a universal truth we all have lies we believe.

Beautiful picture.. can’t help but think getting out of our heads and into our bodies is where the unraveling begins..

  I think movement does help with the unlocking. When i feel stuck, a walk tends to help.
