Holding me together
Binding at my seams
Skin pulled taut like wire
Emotions and thoughts test the strength
Bombarding these stitches
Holding me together.
But there are rips
Waiting to cleave me open
Rip me apart.
The thorns of negativity
Will unwind me
And demolish the stitching
Holding me together.

Was feeling a little overwhelmed when this popped into my head and it helped me unwind.
