Forever Chained

by Laura   Jan 9, 2007


Looking into the mirror
Staring back, what do I see?
Not the grown woman
But the helpless child in me

Robbed of my innocence
Now living my life in fear
Spiraled into a depression
For this life I wish to revere

Trapped behind invisible bars
Created by my imagination
Confined to a life of solitary
Only deepened by my isolation

Abandoned hope in the past
Confidence never to be regained
Loathing in a sea of tears
This destiny has me forever chained

    This is really good, Laura! But so sad.. The third stanza is my fave.

    "Not the grown woman
    But the helpless child in me"
    ^^^ Love this line!

    A really honest, powerful, and sad piece. But so beautifully written.
