BOUND

BOUND

I am wrapped in chains
Bound
To something I can’t see or hear
I am stuck in this place
Glued to this spot
And the reason for that escapes me
So I stand here, in this spot
Bound
And unable to see my way free
Tied to the illusions
Of this illusory place
And the limitations I can’t quite see
Freedom has to be attainable
And yet I have no idea how to be
Free in my movements in my actions
Free to think myself out of this place
Bound
And desperate to be free
As the chains tighten around me
Constricting with every twist and turn
Refusing to let me go
And my mind is succumbing as well
To the reality of being trapped
Bound
By unseen restrictions and expectations
Bound
To this Never place, the Always place
Of limitations and boundaries
Bound
By those who claimed to know what was best for me
Long before they ever saw me
Bound
Because they want something better for me
Want me to be free to think and be whatever I want
But that can never be achieved
Because in their desperation to keep me safe
With their good intentions and far sightedness
They only achieved one thing
Me … restrained, restricted, repressed
In the name of my freedom they have me
Bound
