Anchors


I hate it.

It hates me.

My past is an anchor.

It drags and stops me where I am.

Don't cut the chains.

Use the chains to lift that weight.

And take it.

It takes you.

I'm a student and I've discovered a new love for poetry. I'm bilingual - first is obviously English, and my second language is Japanese. I'm very geeky and I can talk about Batman for hours. I want to inspire others.
