Chained
"CHAINED"
imprisoned by choice
scars and bruises my cell mates
death follows future
abuse is a life sentence
the force of love keeps me jailed.
walls enclose vast view
no-one knows my secret hurts
hears sobbed silent cries
abuse degrades human soul
escape holds no path to run.
invisible bars
contain emotions red ... raw
end is not in sight
entrapment stifles breathing
a heart denied from beating.
*For Black-Eyed Susan's Wrongful Imprisonment or Sentenced Contest.
