There's knots that need brushing through
Knots that change the length of your hair.

There's knots that are used at sea
Knots that secure the ship to a pole.

There's knots that finish blankets
Knots that make a ribbon a tie.

There's knots that secure buttons to a shirt
Knots that help in mending socks.

There's knots that form a pretty bracelet
Knots that keep a bead from falling off.

And then there's knots that make you feel weak
Knots that tangle the words in your mouth.

There's knots that make it hard to breath
And knots that seem to carry the weight of boulders.

Knots that sit in your stomach, evergrowing
Knots that feel like a corset around your heart.
