Chains That Bind <br /> <br />These chains <br />Tied upon the mast <br />That keep me held down fast <br />The mast that holds me from my past <br /> <br />I curse the ones who made these binds <br />Made these things to hold me down <br />But i hate to be bound <br />Why can't they let me drown <br />I don't want to be found... <br /> <br />Sometimes i curse them <br />Curse them for holding me back <br />It's driving me insane <br />But when was i ever sane <br />I always want to disappear into the rain <br /> <br />There's nothing i need to think about <br />Even if i did my head would still be full of doubts <br />I don't need to think <br />Why can't they let me sink! ! <br /> <br />My mind is almost made <br />Of death I'm not afraid <br />I'm just afraid they'll try and stop <br />But no matter what I'll still drop <br />And they'll all hear that single plop <br /> <br />My descent into the sea <br />My descent of ending me <br />My death below the sea <br />Finally I am set free....<br /><br />Michael Carlson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chains-that-bind/
