I sigh as I lay here with chains so cold.
Chain so heavy. Chains so old.
I barely lift my head up and blink when for once in my life I see the light.
I want to reach out for it but these chains want to fight.
These chains represent all of the things and words that have brought me down.
These chains are the reason why I frown.
The light shines so bright I just can't look away.
Of the thing I've been waiting for,for days and days.
I want to get rid of these sins and burdens so much.
The light on my face has the best touch.
I reach for it and grasp it tight.
I pull my self up and I try to fight.
The chains fall off and I get on my knees.
For once, I am breaking free.

I like this because it represents how things can be holding you down and you will struggle to just break free from all of the stress.

Totally AMAZING!!!!
By far one of the best poems I've read on AP! I have to struggle sometimes too. It feels like I have a lot more than chains holding me down sometimes.

We can break free from stress by just allowing and being able to do so. Sometimes we get so involved with things we're unable to pull out. But when we try our hardest and we're able to say "stop" to everything for just a moment, we can escape to places more peaceful and easy. A well written poem. Thanks for sharing it.
