Chained to a life, that is filled with pain; <br />To the chaos within, driving me insane <br /> <br />Chained to an invisible prison, the only home I’ve known; <br />Like a dog to a tree, forgotten and alone <br /> <br />Chained to the shackles, that drag at my feet; <br />And feeling as if my life will never be complete <br /> <br />Chained and tormented by the commotion in my head; <br />Praying daily to God to leave me for dead <br /> <br />Chained to heartache and also blame; <br />I cringe at the sound of my own name <br /> <br />Chained to the one in the mirror, who only knows sorrow; <br />To a life that has no desire to see tomorrow <br /> <br />Chained and tortured, because I’m the unwanted one; <br />Sobbing alone, because I was the daughter, not the son <br /> <br />Chained to a rock, drowning in life’s undertow; <br />Forbidden to have dreams and see them grow <br /> <br />Chained and feeling I’m being buried alive, <br />I'm ready to give up, lost all will to survive <br /> <br />Chained and only allowed to stand outside, looking in; <br />Dying from the heart that keeps caving in <br /> <br />Chained and tormented by ridicule poured on me by humanity; <br />Tied and drugged, because I lost control over my sanity <br /> <br />Chained and forbidden to enjoy all of life’s wealth <br />Chained..... <br />Because I’m unforgiven by everyone, including myself<br /><br />beast of burden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chained-2/
