Tetherball thoughts

tetherball, spinning round and round,

tied to a place, but not to the ground.

pull me close, then push me away

nothing keeps me here anyway.

the rope is worn, it’s starting to fray,

one sharp tug, and i’ll drift away.

stuck in a game i never chose,

chasing a feeling nobody knows.

tetherball, swinging without a care

nothing’s holding me anywhere.
