Shackles
A box,
filled with heartbreak, wounds,
not to be shown to anyone.
Making each a victim,
some worse than others.
A fight,
within oneself,
not seen by others,
whether they admit it or not.
A world filled
with torture,
no matter the form.
In consequence,
we hold onto ourselves,
without the help
or understnading we need.
To be loved again, by ourselves.
