Tied Up In Nots

Soul Poetry

Not worthy enough.

Not good enough.

Not strong enough.

Not able enough.



These 'nots'

have me tangled

in such

un-do-able webs.



-Webs woven

from years of doubt,

and ever tightened

by fears.



They sway me,

to---and---fro,

in winds of

unchange.



Tightening,

till my jugular chokes

on my insecurities,

and my throat

closes off,

with braided discord.



~*~*~



I've not the desires,

once so strong,

to fight off

this constant binding...



...of a soul,

so twisted,

and dangling

in life's

hangman noose.
