Left With Chains

Your smile lights up the room

People around you are crying out for help

Some have tears

Some don’t

You are the light that gave them hope

You held them in your arms as if they are yours

Patiently, one at a time you light up their world

Until the room was filled with laughter and smile

You hold their chains that they are free from

As you walk their chains are ringing in your ears

Little by little the chains are getting heavier

But it is okay the room is still bright, you can still smile

As you look back you can see them confidently letting go of their chains

So many chains are falling

But only you can hear them

Your eyes became brighter Finally they are flying away from their chains

But as they fly they remove those chains that connect you to them In the end they let you fall

You looked at your hands and it was full of chains

Chains that were ones they own

They are now yours

“Let go of your chains,” you told them

And it kept singing in your ears

But as you try to let their chains fall

They are slowly falling

Their chains are hunting them again

So even before they get caught

You embrace their chains You are embracing it as if you own them

You were ones their light

But you seem to dim

Now they are your light

But they left you

Now you are looking above

Watching them fly

The chains that your holding are the ones they left

Including you

Now you are wearing a smile

But it doesn’t light up the room

You are happy to see them fly

But you are left with nothing but chains

The world was too beautiful not to see

But to painful to feel

Those people whom you set free

Imprisoned you to their darkest time
