Chained
Submerged below a heavy heart lies a force of unexplained power
A depth of reality that divides a thought from intent
Tangled up in fears and acceptance
Drowning from desires that suffocate the vision
Unable to escape the dark waters that comfort you in silence
Floating from a surface of illusions
The weight of confusion that hardens your last breath
About this poem
