Chains Poem by Lex Cullen

Chains rattle
They take a hold
A hold of my existence
I try to struggle
But won't release me
I stay here
Imprisoned by my mind
I feel like I'm losing myself
Helpless and empty
Feeling as if I'm drifting away
Away from everything
The more I try
Try to break the links
They tighten
I try to scream
Scream for help
But no one here
Because they're turned silent
Reminding me I don't need it
Just keep going
To listen to my chains
And I did
I always listened
Walking my path
Good or bad
With the rattle
The rattle of my chains.
