I am bound
To this Earth
by my blessing
and my curse.
I am tied
by their teasing,
Chained by their
Stares.
My chains
are tugged
By my head,
Doubtful,
Scared.
My choices
Of the heart and mind
will set me free.
While
my
Visible chains
Are
My legs,
They are not
What keeps
Me From Being Braver.
I am
my obstacle
my personal
barrier
I hope
To break
These chains.
Break
my doubt
Forgive others
and myself,
and set
myself
Free.
I will
not
Let these chains
Treat me like a puppet
Any longer.
I am free
Free
To be me
without the chains
That imprison my heart.
Free
Of the chains’ control
At last
I am free.
I am
Proud
Capable
Brave.
I won’t do this
To myself.
Not anymore.
God,
At last
I am free
Of my
Chains.
