Chains

Posted by Terrence Johnson

Shackled by inventions of suppression
Bound with intentions of oppression
With my head cradled in my hands
Desperation with no plans
These shackles differ to me
Having no escape no key
Appearing to have no relinquish
Trapped forever it seems
Eradication of all my dreams
The space I'm in has no walls
Nothing but endless space, no one to hear my calls
I desire to break free
With nothing to motivate me I'm content to be
I remain puzzled
My mind appears to be muzzled
How did I get here?
Will I ever escape is my fear
Then I think to myself
Muster any strength I have left
Fear cannot be escaped it must be overcome
The shackles fall, free is what I become
