Invisible Chains

free me from these chains
of the worldly social bondage
from the rituals of agony
your so called social class

let me live my life
as free as the bird in a sky
to fly as high as the sky
to return into my cosy nest

i want to live no more
in the world you call as society
where trust is a matter of game
and love is a one night stand

let me smile to the moon
and to stars in the night
i am tired of forceful smiles
that i wear on for your parties

i want to hear no more
of money,contracts,divorce,status
where rich and rich are friends
and all that you say is cajole

 

let me love the sky and the sea

rather than your assets and bank balance

free me from these chains
of the worldly social bondage

Author notes

just wrote this one when i felt as if though i live in a free world where i say i have my own life there are still things that keep me CHAINS......things that make me feel as if i am suffocating.......

    I think we all feel a little chained down in our lives.
    But in a way its good, because sometimes if we werent chained down we may do things that are regrettable.
    Great job with this piece.
    Bravo

    Fantastic! I can relate to this poem so much!!! Your imagery is brilliant and I especially love:
    "where trust is a matter of game
    and love is a one night stand"
    I also love how you begin and end the poem with the same 2 lines....excellent, thanks for sharing this, and for taking the time to enter my contest,

    Luck.
