Persistent Bondage

 

A constant battle in your mind and soul

 

Grey areas were others see black or white

 

A hidden area too personal to be spoken

 

A re-run of insanity after the show of happiness is over

 

Ideas about why you live tied down

 

Something that you desire but hate

 

Feelings of the same routine come back in the same cycle

 

Wanting to have but yet destroy

 

You think no, but it’s done

 

Overtime through the memories that I see

 

The answer may be obvious but it’s hidden from me

 

A stubborn shadow among intensive light

 

I desire to be pure as light

 

Instead I’m a half light, trying to shine

 

But the darkness has entangled a part of my mind

 

I only know what I have been taught

 

I was taught young that the darkness was a part of life

 

Only the true light can divorce this faded life
