Thread

My life a single thread

Runs from toe to head

Each stitch a single piece

And here I've come undone

The lazy hatching untwisted

Run out all in one

One single line

Peeling me: skin, organs, bones

Left disregarded once used

The abused playground of careless children

Because I don't matter

To them

To those who see the world as an open field

To extend their hopes and worries

Disregarding the effect it has

Disregarding those

Who they stand on to get where they're going

I became the beds they lie on

The tables they eat off of

The extra in their narratives

Cutting pieces of my thread

Sewing them into their tapestries

I've played this roll for so long

I can't even remember who I am

When I knit it all back together

I don't know the person I see
