Dark Chains

Description:
I wrote this a few weeks ago. Sometimes these feelings just come up and I try to write them down as good as possible. I wasn't very happy at the moment when I wrote this. But even sad things can be good. And I always feel better after writing.
I hope you liked it.
I hope you liked it.
Dark Chains
Dark Chains The dark chains were keeping his prisoner captive Both arms were chained to the wall And his feet to the ground He was chained for as long as he could remember People were passing by, not looking at the guy They only saw the shadows They didn’t have the courage to come near The guy was hanging weakly in the chains Like he had no hope or strength left But it hasn’t always been like this There were days when he was standing With hope that the day of release would be near And yes, there were people who saw him And tried to rescue him from the chains But they all failed … Like the chains decided that they were not the right person To set the guy free So he has been waiting in the shadows For as long as he could remember For someone To set him free … |

A struggle to be seen and to be freed from pain and sadness is what I understand of it. If that is the meaning then it is wonderful. Kind of like me a few years ago, still a little bit now too though. It is great. :)| | Posted on 2006-01-26 00:00:00 | by Tied2AHateSoul | [ Reply to This ] | Wow this one's depressing too! JK. i like this too. CHALLANGE: write a happy poem before next weekend! no nevermind -thats not how creativity works. NEW CHALLANGE: write a new piece before next weekend that focuses on the journey from despair to hope (that sounds corny but hey- i'm the challanger here!- i can do what i want!) the piece dosen't have to be hopeful, maybe the journey has completly failed, but thinking about moving to happiness might help. | | Posted on 2006-01-22 00:00:00 | by Sasha Lynn | [ Reply to This ] | Dark feelings. You have done a superb job of describing exactly what you feel here. | As i read through i could of almost been the man in chains. And i have been there in the past, and it's not a nice place to be, this i know. When you feel like you nothing to hope for and anything you do hope for will never come anyway. But just after christmas this year i decided that it was only me who could save my life from a never ending circle of pain and self pity ( I'm not suggesting that you are pitying yourself). so i picked myself up, went to my old employer and told them i would like my job back, they accepted. I got in contact with an ex that i had treated quite badly in the feelings department, although and i know it's no excuse i was so down i just didn't want to drag her down with me, and I proclaimed my love for her and she is currently in the process of moving back in with me! So all i'm trying to say is that although you feel like there is no hope, there is, go grab yourself a little something that you want, and all the rest fits into place and you can wear your long lost smile once again. Anyway i have totally gone into a verbal barage of my life that's past.. Great thought provoking piece, and i truly hope that you find all you are looking for and never feel this low again  Chin up eh?

I dont know if you have a religion or some other comforting source, but i recomend that after you write something like this, you turn to it to bring yourself back up. | keep hope and keep it coming. | Posted on 2006-01-20 00:00:00 | by L0RIN | [ Reply to This ] | |
