Shackled

by JiKaRiN   Jul 10, 2007


I can feel blood flowing out of my veins,
I can feel its never ending pains,
I feel exhausted, hopeless and restive,
Undeniably, I am shackled indeed!

Into a tumultuous land I've been,
Living with people who are fearless and mean,
Chained with my ill-dream of being free,
Shackled, that is truly me!

My arms and limbs chained firmly,
Insulting much of my dignity,
To obey is all I can do,
To be free is what I've wanted to!

My eyes were poor and my feet were swollen,
My hopes were dying and I keep falling,
Into a deep well of vengeance and anger,
Shackled, as I always were!

My ill movements, my weary thoughts,
My thin body, my shattered clothes,
My pitiful hymns,
My own shackled dreams...

    Ok this totally was good! It was very from the heart and that's what means the most in poetry. Not form or flow ( in my opinion anyways ). I think it was exellent! And thank you btw for the comment on my poem, I am SO sorry that you can relate to that. Just keep writing...it releases a lot of anger, trust me! :)
