Chains

Through the iron bars, I can see the clear blue sky.

I want to escape, I can feel the rush of freedom.

I can almost taste it.

As I move foward the chains tying me to the prison prevent me form leaving.

The door is open so why can't I leave?

I'm all alone, I need someone to feel the same,

Someone of the same chains to connect with.

I move foward and one of the chains hold me back.

"You can't leave, we need you, we love you."

They why won't they me leave?

If you love something set it free.

I move foward again.

"What are you doing? You can't survive out there on your own!"

They don't know how strong I am.

I can get through anything with a smile on my face.

I move foward again.

"I won't let you leave."

The chain's grip tightens.

I move foward with tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry. I have to. If I don't leave now, I'll never be able to prove that I can do this."

I move foward one last time, breaking the chains.

I move foward into the sunlight.
