I cast away the bindings that ensnare. Day 4 (Form: English Sonnet) |
Unchained ** Image ID #1518466 Unavailable ** I cannot bear these chains of misery; though wrapped in silk, they chafe upon my soul. Where once I thought your love would set me free, I'm burdened by the yoke of your control. How can you say you love me with each breath yet scorn me should I fail to play the part that you expect. This isn't life, it's death; a thousand cuts that slowly kill the heart. No longer will I crawl; I stand my ground and cast away the bindings that ensnare. I see horizons, hidden from eyes bound; they call to me in answer to my prayer. No tears will fall; no longer will I bleed. I'm curious where this new road will lead..
