Rope Burn

A poem on mental health.

By Zane Published 5 years ago • Updated 5 years ago • 1 min read

When something hurts

you know to let it go

but sometimes, you let it stay.

Now you've got a guest, and it'd be rude not to accommodate

a creature of habit.

Because when you're used to pulling rope,

letting go isn't as simple as dropping the weight

between you and your guest,

the reason you tug, is just as important as the direction you face.
