Tangled

[Deep Blue]

My life is a tangle of knots.
The stories I tell you
Anger and sadness
Needs and desires
Grip on reality
Lies that I created
Emotions from my past
Disturbing images and dreams
I continue to create these knots.  I hold the tangle tight because it is better than becoming unraveled.

Hi Deep Blue,
What a clever poem this is - you made me think of the film 'Tangled' which I know is based on issues relevant to this forum.  Your clever use of the letters spelling out the name, and the themes within it - and the depiction of the knots.  It's a Deep poem, Deep Blue.    to you, if that's ok.

I love hugs from you Hope. 

Thanks for the compliment.  I'm glad you like the layers of it.

Hi Deep Blue.  I love the way you used a specific form for this by starting lines with the letters of the title.  Not easy to do.  Your ending is honest and brave.  Thank you for sharing this.  LittleBoat

Hi littleboat,
Yes that is the line we walk isn't it?  I know the fear of becoming unraveled is always in the back of my mind.  Thanks for reading
