Loose

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Don’t pull on the loose thread, you aren’t

ready to bear beyond the surface. I share with

you what your mind can digest. Bit by bit, you

drink on the truths I spill. Your thirst increases

by the day, begging for my hand to double your

intake. Careful child, you’re pulling again. The

world you seek may unravel you from within.

  3. I want to read this over & over to digest it fully. So much truth contained in one short poem! Life can only be lived one day, one minute, one moment at a time. Beautifully expressed.
