Break the Chains

Sometimes the chains that prevent us from being free are more mental than physical. It is ultimately up to you to break the chains that prevent you from living your life. It may take a while for your chains to break, but when you are ready for the chains to be released…you will fly. After a while you begin to love your problems. You fear recovery. When you have struggled for so long, you don’t remember life without your inner demons. You don’t remember what life is like without struggle. You don’t want to remember. Because without them, who are you? But I will break these chains that bind me. I will find happiness. I will leave the past behind me. My chains will be gone and I will be set free… I just have to break the chain one link at a time. 

Break the Chains 

Just when you’ve had enough, life gives you more.

Just when you think it’s rained enough, it starts to pour.

You put on a fake smile to hide all your pain

No sun in sight, strangled in chains

Only to realize we must be hurt in order to grow

We must fail in life in order to know.

Some lessons in life are best learned through pain.

But I’ve had enough; it’s time to break the chains.
