In Chains

Bound by chains        
so deadly and tight        
the future seems dim          
there’s no shining light        
       
my voice is paralized        
while i want to scream
       
         
Caged by the past        
in a phantom prison        
shackled by memories        
too excruciating to bear
       
         
my body is paralyzed        
while i want to escape
       
         
Locked up in time        
this pain will remain        
my insanity scares me        
my scars will never fade        
       
go run, get out of here        
         
Assaulted by him        
my body brutalized        
my innocence broken        
but still i crucify myself        
         
while i just want to scream
