Dear Life

Dear life 

It’s me again 

Coming to you with the chains that you have shackled so tight on my wrists 

I just wish 

Wish that you would break me from this bounded prison 

Where my cell mates “hardship” and “hopelessness” try to tear me down into pieces 

It never ceases, the screams from “turmoil” and “strife”

I try to drown them out with my bitter cries

I look out the window to see “joy” and “happiness”

And I long to join them 

To break free of this imprisonment 

I’m not meant....... to be this unhappy 

They say to every cloud there is a silver lining 

Well tell me where is mine 

Show me that the sun is going to shine one of these days 

And that I can get out of this maze that is filled with nothing but obstacles 

Make me see that it does get better 

And that I just have to withstand the weather and the storms 

Let me be unrestrained Unchained UNBOUND 

so that you don’t have to hear the sound of me saying....

Dear life 

It’s me again
