It's just poetry. Pay it no mind.

The chains that bind
forged from my words
powerful and true
so why does it hurt?

Trapped in the shadows
no one sees this pain
I keep it bound within
just as I'm bound without

Do I struggle for freedom
breaking the chains and my word?
Or do I remain a captive
of suffocating bindings?

Wings are pinioned
muscles ache
the words are heavy
they drag me
down

please
let me be free
can't you see
I was made to fly?

I came down to earth
thought it was best
now I wonder if
I can ever retake the skies

I followed my duty
obligations & rules
buried my heart
and swallowed my soul

And now it haunts me
chains rattle and snap
stuggling for something
that may never come back

I'll uncase my wings
they've always been there
this world cannot hold me
my dreams give me lift

My heart, I am sorry
My soul, please forgive
quiet your screaming
we'll find our way back

Back to the heavens
Where fellow angels tread
Always in light and love
Never to be dragged
down
again

Uncase
