Hanging By a Thread

A Poem by Duckey

I'm hanging by a thread

It is the only thing that keeps me from falling

And the only thing that keeps me alive

A single thread

Which laces up my arms

And around my heart

And keeps me above the ground

When i so long to be below

It is a beautiful thread

Strong and safe

And kind to my skin

It's touch does not burn me

Now its length cut me

It just holds

Safe and strong

it does not fray with weather

Now snap no matter how heavy i am

It holds

Safe and strong

Her name is Lauren
