To break free
That is commonly said
For things such as cages and chains

Though there exist
The chain that binds
For things such as relationships

The dog that is bound
To a leash and tree
Seeks the pleasure to be free
But there are dogs
Happy to be leashed
As they are well fed and safe by the tree

So do we break
Or keep the sake
Of the chains that bind, we

Memories.

upon anything, it becomes everything.

we keep the good ones for hope
we get the bad ones chain to our skin & bones

we force ourselves to forget, yet we want to remember everything and anything

we cant change it. not anymore.
neither escape from it.
... it becomes who we are.

Chained,
here,

while you suffer,
I am safe,

while you wait,
I can plan

I won't let them,
get us again,

I'll be ready,
You'll be safe,

I'll unshackle you,
and I'll be unchained
