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.

    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.

    OMG. This is too heavy. The reality that you have captured through this short poem is an amazing work of yours. I read it thrice to understand it completely. Beautiful work there. 😊🙏

    That desire to know has ruined many. Very deep piece.

    I’ve been following your blog since you followed or liked one of my posts (I forget which, but that is neither here nor there), and have never regretted it since. Your poems often captivate my attention, and this one did so especially.
