Chained Down

haleyalexis

My binding chains on my wrists

They hold me down no assist

Traps me inside with no resist

In my mind it's myself I missed

But when I try to insist

It leaves me empty where I just exist

Overwhelmed and burnt out was my twist

I don't think I'll get over this

  • L. B. Mek

    if you ever want to play around
    try stretching your technical prowess
    by matching your lines with equal syllables
    and matching that, to the amount of lines in your whole poem
    for example, you first two lines are 7 syllables
    and your whole write is 8 lines,
    match this with your end rhymes
    and that brilliantly placed 'missed'
    and I doubt many publishers
    will have the nerve to reject your work
    (of course only if you're interested, that is)
    thanks for sharing, dear poet

    Great use of solid end rhymes very clever and adventurous. The piece itself is deep and bitter sweet.
