Unraveling is a poem I wrote inspired by string! This poem begins with me as an emotionally weak woman with a lot of troubles in life, and ends with a discovery of my our heart's strength. In it I release myself on a downward journey, unraveling to set myself free. To land as no longer weak but strong! May we all find strength within us, even as a result of our occasional unraveling.

the knot of darkness once held me
though no longer has me bound
