Chains Full of Eyes

Do the eyes upset you?

Why are you lowering your head?

Cause I see you slumping around

Like you have heavy, rusted, metal chains hanging from your neck


The chains have gotten heavier and harder to carry over time

With all the weight of the words from the evasive eyes

Conversing and telling you lies,

the chains then steadied themselves on your neck

permanently engraving into your skin

weighing you down

to keep you from reaching normal standards

that all the eyes expect from you


As you walk around, eyes lowered, surrounded by eyes,

As much as you try to deny it, compromise with it,

These chains full of eyes are always there, pulling and squeezing 

you tight and tighter and tighter untill it is unbearable.

Every moment you try to greet another eye 

The chains squeeze around you, trying to take you down,

praying you to just walk away

and as much as you want to deny the chains

while it screams its pressing painful pleads,

you give into its needs

and walk away
