Broken Chains
Cracked
Splintered
Scattered
Lost
chained...
On my knees
twisted by the weight
of too much to carry far.
What must I do?
If I could stand
I would be wider than the seas.
There would be
limitless depths
to me.
But on the shallow tide I must cling.
I have no choice.
Held down by powers
greater than me
I weep...
Can they hear me?
If so why don't they come?
Why?
Slowly,
every so slightly,
I feel
a crack
against
the puckered skin
left to fall off the bones.
But -
A fire
burns
A fire rages on
A fire that destroys the fear
A fire that promises release
A fire that burns away the chains
A fire that ignites the pain
that will help me
be me again.
