My mind is full of thoughts
That are strung tight like steel wires
And I know I have to think each thought
Cut each wire
So I can move on to the next
And not get stuck behind one
Forever
Some wires I can cut cleanly
But sometimes one takes hours of sawing
Days or weeks
And when I finally sever it
And take the first step forward in triumph
The loose wire snaps back
From both of the force of the cut
And its own momentum
Biting into my flesh
Knocking me back
50 feet
