I already have

so many chains

connected to my body,

mind, words, and life,

I feel so dragged down

by these chains

that I wonder,

would I feel free if

I were to die

leaving the chains of

my life, mind, and body

but one thing I

can’t escape from

are those chains to my words,

the words I’ve spoken

to those who I love,

hate, beaten, didn’t know

and even the ones

I type out onto this page

so even if I died

I would still

be dragged down by them,

my chains,

in which I’m eternally

bonded to
