Chained

Location

I can’t breathe, can’t move

Trapped here forever

You tricked me into this

This forever prison

You played on my feelings

Till you had me right here

Then you trapped me

Tortured me and chained me

You took away my freedom

You took away the sky

 

I can still see it

A dot high in the air

The brightest blues and darkest blacks

The sky varies

It is a symbol of hope

A hope that I might escape

Escape from this dreadful prison

Where you trapped me

Chained me to the rocks

So that I may not fly

 

I am majestic

The king of the sky

The sky is a part of me

And now I can’t touch it

I’m chained here

Trapped here

And it is killing me

Not being able to fly

Break these chains and fly away

This is my forever dream

 

Suddenly these chains

They fall away

I spread my wings and fly

Fly to the sky

I look back for a moment

You tricked someone else

A body is there, motionless

Chained to the rocks

I can’t help them

I fly, to become one with the sky
