Each poem I craft is a living, breathing thing.

My children are scattered amongst the pages.

Some leave their legacies by blood.

I think I will leave mine in ink.

The link that binds me

Cover to cover

To the contemporary

And the classic.

The future is short-form

For short attention spans.

But I’m a rambler—

And speak up so very little in reality

That my mind is my greatest weapon

And also my gr...

I use to be free, but these chains hold me down.

I use to smile, but these chains cause me to frown.

I use to laugh, but these chains cause me pain.

I use to dance, but these chains make me lame.

I use to sing, but these chains make me mute.

I use to play, but these chains make it hard to move.

I use to feel light, but these chains are made of lead.

I use to live, but these chains made me dead...

Chasing me, locking me away.

He held me hostage. I felt

Alone, Afraid and Abandoned.

In the dark, in these heavy chains.

Nobody knows where I am.

Someone please help me!...

She’s been chained-

for how long? i can’t remember

she watches couple after couple

walk down each street

she’s happy for them

but she wants love too

last time went wrong

the last time was terrible

heartache after heartache

she watches her friends fall

while she’s alone

she’s been chained to nothing

for too too long

there is no key to the lock on her heart

she’s chained to nothing

chained t...

Chains bind the captive

Chains bind the souls stuck

But chains bind the free too

Those chains are invisible

They hold us down

You can feel the weight even if you deny

You can hear the metal clang

You can feel the restraint

We see people in chains everyday

From their jobs

Their family

Their money

Chains are more then metal that binds prisoners

Chains hold us back

Chains limit us

Break your chai...

If you were chains,

I’d ask to be locked up.

My mouth would beg

for a jail follow-up.

If you were chains,

I would love to be weighed down.

Something comforting

about the tons of pounds.

I guess it’s a little weird?

If you were chains,

make me the ghost

of Jacob Marley.

Leave me chained to a post.

If you were chains,

I’ll sit alone in the castle,

make ‘em think I’m crazy,

make ‘em try to hassle...

I'm bound

to these shackles

pulling at my wrists

dragging me down

this burden I carry

is too big for my hands

so I carry the heavy weight

in a chunk of my brain

I can't even think straight

without this chain

it reaches every corner and crevice

so I can't have a real life anymore

I want to go back

take it off and fly like a dove

free from the mess

physical and mental

please take my chains...

I swore that something was going to happen today. Not like I’m going to be genuinely happy even though it’s been months since I last felt even a sliver of happiness. Not like I’m going to ditch school because I’m so tired of watching friends walk by in the hall and know that it’s the one I’ll never have. I mean like _something. _

Every step I took today felt weird, almost _wrong_. My hear...

Stop

Please stop

I can’t

Please I just can’t handle this

You hate me

You hate me, you hurt me

But now

The moment I decide I can’t do this anymore

You…

Love me?

Please

Please just let me go

Let me breathe

I can’t

Please

Stop...

Dane has been in prison long enough—and has had the crap beat out of him hard enough, to know never to mess with the Chained.

He planned to abide by the simple rules of surviving until yesterday night. Instead of receiving the usual bowl of brown sludge, his meal was empty. Say for the letter of course.
