Bubbles and Chains

The grasp they held on me was suffocating

By Abigail SulfridgePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

What must I do

To feel whole

To feel loved

To feel untouched

What must I do

To make the past disappear

To make my life better

To make my life uncovered

I once lived in a bubble

But that bubble popped long ago

And once that bubble popped

My parentals tightened their hold

My chains wore at my skin

They broke my heart

The love I needed

Ripped from my grasp

The Lord not helping me in any way

He ran off

My parents held on tight

The blows to the head

They thought it would keep me in line

But little did they know

It would only drive me further away

From our Lord and savior

And more importantly

Them
