Red chains
May 28, 2024
The red chains glow
Oh, how they hold me down
The more I wiggle, the more I see
The claws of my past grab hold of me
The red chains grip
so very tight, they won't let go
As they drag me away from reality
The darker my mind becomes
I have decided to accept my fate
I cannot fight against these red chains
it's tempting...so tempting
How can I fight against myself to break free?
I'M SICK OF THESE RED CHAINS!
I don't want to succumb to them anymore
I pull on them and pull so hard
"I will free myself" I shouted
As I break the restraints from off the ground
I was doomed already
Because I ran away from it
Only to be restrained once more by the same red chains as before...

I have written this in a way where anyone can relate to it in their own way. But what I was going for was that the speaker is trying to go through the healing process but something is stopping them from healing properly. So instead of healing, they run away from the issue making it all worse in the end. I see you and I know you can break free on your own! <3
