wrapping yourself up in the mess of choices and emotions<\/p>\n
You can feel them struggling can\u2019t you<\/p>\n
Blurring together until nothing is left<\/p>\n
until your heart is empty<\/p>\n
and your stomach is tied up in so many knots you can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s from the food<\/p>\n

detangle<\/p>\n
sort them into neat boxes<\/p>\n
that can be pulled from at a moment\u2019s notice<\/p>\n
until next time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
