Hand on a chain

by elvis-okumu

I have my hand on a chain I am pulled along and the drain is insane I can't obstain or restrain the pain I feel as I am dragged alond the feild But I won't let it go, I won't let you steal the way I feel make a meal of me, and then say it wasn't a big deal My body is battered and broken, and I am always beholden I have more to do as my time is always bespoken The chain is harder and harder to hold on and way is harder and harder to forge on. I am tiered and honestly, sometimes I don't feel as if I can go on But I won't let go Because i refuse to let the world know That it has beaten me I won't let that dept grow nor will I ever slow. I will meet you blow for blow from the tides of spring to winters snow As the acorn falls and the rains do flow And you will watch that oak tree grow from a sapling as you and I are grappling You won't understand what is happening. You will think that I am a creature of some crazy fantacy. Why do I go on, I couldn't tell you. Death just seems more fun if only I knew how to But this heart of mine just keeps beating And I just continue living and my hand keeps on gripping and I will be damned if I just up and leave it. I am a molded wreking ball unhappy unless I am wrecking For when I am not, I am only a ball even the wrecking part of my name just falls And whats the point of being just a ball For when I was created I was called the wrecking ball My pourpose is in my duty My duty is in my pourpose and whats worse, the course I am on would be gone without this chain So how can I complain even when I am in pain Without this chain I would be plain I would be a ball detached from the crain. So go on, and I will hold on
