Sometimes I believe if I cut my world
into long thin strips
the fabric of my life might be more
manageable.
My mind gathering ability to be more
objective to the folds
Stitching may be planned and delicate
drawing less blood from tender tips
If only I could slice my life into strips.

The edge just becomes frayed and when you realize what needs to be done....it can be far too late to gather the threads. Even when I think I am being "objective", I know it is still a victim to the subjective reasoning of my influences. I never was very good at sewing though.......

You wrote so little, yet you said so much. I really enjoyed it. Great Job, it was beautiful.
Short, sweet and to the point
