Here is a verse that seems to be autobiographical. The author gets trapped into webs and narratives of others, and has to hide their true self.

#go.along.to.get.along

When one forgets or compromises one's original self, original virtue, or as the main metaphor for this verse, one's thread to which one holds tightly, all kinds of compromises and "settling" happen.

The solution: Remember your roots. Remember your origins. Come back to your senses.

May your days begin in peace, and become the threads with which weave radical hope.
