chained

chained to the ground

never to be freed

overlooked by what your labels says

liked a bad seed.


like someone who is filled with greed

like your guilty


but in reality you're innocent

who’ll listen enough for you to be freed from those chains

that bound you to the ground

who will erase your pain , the bruises your scars

you’ve got from other people


who will make it worth waking

to see the sun rising
Who ?

The word freedem is used a little to much and the way it flowed was a little stilted. Otherwise it was pretty good! Keep writing
