These chains

Get these chains out of me!
I want to dissolve!
A color in the painting,
A note in the accord,
A string in the harp,
Breathe!
Feel it all!
Mean dark veil!
Burden of slavery!

Well, you feel chained by something; but what might that be..? Potentially, trapped by an obsession; compelling you to express your feelings and experiences through art? With those chains, trapping you within that artistic mindset? Is that really,
a negative state of mind for you..?

It could be negative, though; if you feel as if you have become like a slave to your art? Or, allowed it to become an obsession in your life; and so distracting you from other things?

Indeed, expression through the art of using your words - normally sets someone's mind free.? Unchaining you..?

On the otherhand, is it writer's block; temporarily chaining-up the inspiration inside your mind? Thus, preventing you from expressing what you choose to reveal..?

Where you mentioned "slavery", you were perhaps thinking as a slave to your art.?

I am a slave to life. Constrained to live it not in the way I want to. Thank you for taking time and reading this poem.
