Chains
I call upon ye to uncage me
Let loose these fetters inflaming mine wrists
The soft, tender skin besmirched by thy chains
Gaps for air in this woeful mist.
A thirst for my self endures
For who I am, who I could be
The unsatiated thirst yet mocks at me
Why have me bound by thy silly chains?
Perhaps, we're alike, thee and I
Perhaps, thou judged in haste, as is our vice
Yet thou has't me pulled by thy strings
Of unsought, presumptuous spite, of ill will
If this burden chooses not to forsake me
I shall merely tread forth, bless thy chains
Yet I wouldn't hold spite for all this pain
We aren't all that alike, thee and I.
