to the shackles that bind.

have finally broken
but why does my heart
still cling to past memories
and thoughts unspoken.

We both have freedom
now as I walk and you roll.
Thank you, I can now
reconnect with my soul

when we gain the
gift of freedom.

gives us comfort
even when the chains
are broken and
we are free to move on.

can still be bound
once it is fully released
as it may be all we really know.

to our traumas,
because that’s all
we know.

carrying our burdens that
we fail to see the only one
holding us back is ourselves.

the freedom to be
comfortable being trapped
within ourselves.

made me who I am ‘today’.

are hard to let go,
because we lived with them
for so long.

the chains are broken,
we are enslaved in our minds.
We won’t let go of the
very same thing that broke us.
