My Old Poems (2011)

Chains #10

This life is nothing but a test

One day we will earn our rest

Don't take off in a full sprint

In this world with no tint

It's time to release 

This disease

It starts with a reaction

Then an attraction

There is many things that I have learned

And many poeple that I have discerned

Don't fall for this trend

Or it will be your end

This is so true

Everyday I learn something new

You are like a tree

With your branches sprouting free

At least you have someone you can trust

A friendship that won't fall to rust

Do what you must

Find out who you can trust

I am about to display

My dismay

I need to break out of these chains

And control these reins

It's so hard to choose between pleasure and pain

I wonder if I am even sane

When will this heart stop

When will I drop

I am going to break out of these chains

And control these reins

His glory is shown

I will not moan

I am so tangled 

My body hacked and mangled

Will this sorrow 

Carry on till tomorrow

Should I let my soul 

Take control

This life is like a flower

Delicate but with such power

The power to devour

To make people cower

This world has so much

That is out of touch

So now is the time to break out of these chains

And take control of these reins
