Chains

Each word is a chain

Wrapping around me

Trapping me in this idea

You have created

There are no keys to unlock

Me from your grasp

Only my words

Can undo your chains

But I'm tired

Of fighting

I have wasted many breaths

On this

Begging you to unlock

The chains

That you have made

With your words

Every glance you give me

Another barrier

Your eyes as cold as ice

But my eyes have lost their fire

I am trapped

I am no longer trying to get out

All I want is to survive

Please

Unwrap your chains of words

Lower your eyes

Now you know why I can never leave

    All the things we did wrong

    So we can get better

    But some people
