Oblivious

by Megan Chapman   Jun 25, 2018


Tightly bound in a
Tangle of her own making
She writhes,
Demanding others free her.
As she uses the tangle as her justification
That she be freed
She’s
Oblivious
that it’s
her efforts
that are
Ever more tightly binding her.

    I like this concept. No matter how deep into the dark forest she goes, she's never going to find her way out. Trapped in her own curiosity/ insecurity.

    So true this is Megan. People sometimes can't even get out of their own way and blame everyone else for their problems. Well done-

    Sometimes we do tie ourselves in knots and when we end up in a 'tangle', it's easier to scream and shout at the world around us than it is to look objectively at the situation and understand it is only you who can untangle yourself. And of course, as in quicksand, the more you panic, the more you writhe, the more you lose clarity of thought and the deeper you sink.

    Well done on this, Megan
