i'm being chained up by my thoughts
i'm stuck in place for almost the whole day
every hour
every week
every month

when i think of something to do
when i think of an escape
a light opens up
it's so bright
and reachable

i walk towards this light
this light of hope
this light of change

i start to run towards it
i'm almost there
i'm barley inches away from it

then i get yanked by these chains of my thoughts
the thoughts filling in the back of the room
maybe one day i'll break these chains
but for now, i sit here everyday
every hour
every week
every month
