Chains

The world is not fair.
Free yourself from the chains.
The chains of the world.
It's scary to say..
Impossible to do..
These chains are all we know.
All we've ever known.
So how?
How do we break away?
From something we've grown up with.

This is a song.
A song from someone.

You took my hand.
You lead me away from chains.
You broke your way into my world.
You...huh, who are you now?
The death of you was not me
You said to free myself
But how could I free myself when you freed me
But now I realize

Now I know
I was slow to see
That this could be the key
That can break us free

This is a song for someone
This is the last outreaching, devastatingly, horrible poem I'll ever write

No more
You were the key
To the chains
That hold me back
And now they are on again
Until something I don't know
Comes back to break me free
