Write a story or poem titled 'Chains'.
Chains
It didn’t matter what I wanted.
Because through it all,
I could rely on you,
To drag me down.
You were somehow,
Both the chains that bound me,
And the eagles,
That tore at my flesh.
I played with fire,
When I befriended you,
I nearly got away with it.
Now you have to make me burn.
You tied me up,
But you didn’t leave me to rot,
No, you coerced me,
Into eternal decay beside you.
So enjoy it,
While it lasts.
Because someday,
The chains will sever.
And then I’ll be free.
