Knots

When I run

Knots in my calf

When I carry

Knots in my back

When I'm hungry

Knots in my belly

When I'm stubborn

Knots in my neck

When I'm tense

Knots in my head

When I'm sad

Knots in my heart

When I'm wounded

Knots in my heart

When I'm helpless

Knots in my heart

When I'm lonely

Knots in my heart

When I'm angry

Knots in my heart

When I am helpless

Knots in my heart

I'm not into knots

Knots can be helpful in my life.  I use them to tie things down so I don't lose them.  I use them to anchor boats.  I use them to keep things together. 

However, I also use them at the wrong times.  There are times that I hang onto memories that tie me in knots and keep me from moving forward.  There are times I hold onto hurtful words from others.  There are times I refuse to express my feelings.  I end up in knots.  This practice of tying knots has become second nature to me.  This practice leaves me restricted, unhealthy and a fraction of the person I could be. 

It is time to let go of the past.  It is time to share my feelings.  It is time to allow myself to cry.  It is time to release the knots within me.  It is time to move forward.  It is time to grow.  It is time to take back my life.  It is time to be the very best person I can be.

It is time...
