“Take the chains off…..”

The sound of the chains around my heart – why can’t you set me free?

All my life you’ve tightened them and throughout those years its been hurting me,

I’ve always wondered if you stopped to take a look and see,

How every link created a tear that has fallen constantly,

I ask of you….if you would, with you I plea,

Just let me go, release me, won’t you please!!!!!!

I will not return to do you any harm, revenge is far from me,

I just want to relish in the life and be who and whatever I was supposed to be,

I just want to be given the same opportunity,

The chance to become the driver of my life and not what you think I should be,

What should I be?

How many things can I achieve?

Find my soul mate and unify us into one word – WE,

All these years I’ve dreamt of being free,

Free from these chains oh how fast would I flee,

Been held down for so long that you now hold me without a door that requires a locking key,

like a ship with a motor, but a wind and a sail constantly relied on while lost at sea,

Absent minded from the reality,

My hands are tied behind my back as I fought to defend myself so many times already,

Unsuccessfully,

I thought there was someone else with me, but there was no one else……nobody,

Oh no they’re tightening! Mercy, mercy, mercy me…….

Time to let my mind drift off to escape from this misery,

The sounds are getting louder…..sound of the chains around my heart – why can’t you set me free?

All my life you’ve tightened them and throughout those years its been hurting me,

I’ve always wondered if you stopped to take a look and see,

How every link created a tear that has fallen constantly, 

Take the chains off…..please.
