Chains

Held down by everything besides addiction

Chains held me down and I became constricted.

I began suffocating until I gave in.

Temptation drew me to my first drink.

Rather than temptation, it was more of my pain.

I couldn't escape the prison I was in.

I tried to remove myself to be restrained.

Instead, I was locked out of my own heart.

I tried to find the key that was thrown into a jar.

I put it in the trash somewhere under intoxication.

The poison on my breath slipped through my lips.

I told the truth that was buried deep down inside.

This was the part that I just couldn't hide.

The rusted metal clasped my wrists.

The pain was unbearable, I couldn't take much more.

I clenched my hands to turn them into fists.

The feeling of being alive was slipping through my bones.

One by one, I felt myself breaking.

Anxiety overwhelmed my unsettling heart.

The convulsions arose so I started shaking.

I was high off of being drunk.

I didn't have to feel my veins.

I was losing myself to addiction.

Then suddenly, I had felt a change.

I was able to break free.. from these rusted chains.
