I unravel myself over and over
untangle what has been confused with other things
what parts of me do not belong to me,
that I kept, for some reason.

For no reason at all.

And now cannot seem to let go of,
even when I come to them and think
this string is not my own,
it is the yarn of someone else,
and I cannot release.
