Break The Chain Poem by Katherine Perry

Sound asleep in the middle of the night
I dreamed a dream so real
It was the darkest dream i ever had in my
life
And to this day, i don't know how to feel

I was stuck inside an old laundry shoot
Alone in the middle of a wall
With my eyes wide open and totally nude
Afraid to speak, i said nothing at all

Then i felt a little jerk as it came to a
hault
And the shoot opened up it's door
Then a hand took mine, pulled me out as i
faught
Walking barefoot on a concrete floor

There was nothing around me and my body
was cold
And this man spoke not a word
Arrived in a corner, i saw a chain being
rolled
The pounding of my heart is all i heard

A collar was then put around my neck
And that chain was brought towards me
He clipped it on, then turned away and
left
To a room in the distance where a door
meets

I sat down on the cold concrete floor
My body was trembling as i stared
There was a dim lit lamp that i could
see through the door
And him, just sitting there in a chair

The next morning i woke up, i remembered
the dream
It all came back to me very clear
And i knew it was a message being sent
to me
And it was something i needed to fear

I have let some men treat me bad in my
life
But i could never seem to get away
And that dream was telling me to break
the chain and fight
Or i will be bound to abusive men the
rest of my days!
