Chained

I am having issues at the moment with my family, I want to let it all out. So don't blame me if it turns out to be dorky

I feel them around my wrists.

My ankels.

Your chains.

They burn my skin.

Becoming one with me.

I want them off.

I scream.

 

I sit here now taking your punishment.

Every hit.

Every sting.

Every word.

I take it!

My dreams slowly fade.

My fake smile is what makes me now.

The taste of freedom seems like a minor sip now.

Fight back?

No!

Yes?

I scream.

 

Stop pulling me back!

I want out.

No! I don't want to be dragged with your chains.

I know I can stop the pain if I break free.

I run from you now.

Not from the truth.

The truth runs with me.

I run as far as your chains take me.

I fall.

NO! Don't take me back!

No! I don't want to be dragged back to you.

I scream.

 

Fight back?

YES!

Not with my fists, but with my true words.

Don't stumble back from the truth.

I feel my chains breaking.

Yell!

LISTEN TO ME!!!!

I don't want this anymore!!

Just let me go!!

I scream.

 

I run now.

Yes! From you.

The truth will run with me.

The chains break free from my limbs.

Nothings stopping me now!

Running.

Running.

Running.

 

Then I fly.

Away from you.

Away from it all....

 

FREEDOM!!!!

Good words and perfect ending.
"Then I fly.
Away from you.
Away from it all...."

FREEDOM!!!!

[Kiri Nells]

This poem can be about anything you feel is holding you back. Sometimes we're so used to being "chained" by this thing, we almost don't want to break free. In the end, we know we must and try our best to do so.
Well written with raw emotion!
Great write!
