Heart 💓- bound in chains

Chains protecting it from heavenly sins.

Chains- made of strong emotions

Of fears, peer pressure , sexual abuse and vague restrictions.

Chains- stopping me from me from being in love or loving others.

Chains forcing me to curse my character.

Chains engulfing my creative adventures

Chains- leaving permanent scary marks.

Chains- not letting me feel vigorous.

Chains making impossible for me to be delirious.

Chains-forcing me to be in past- so horribly gorgeous.

Chains- slowly snatching my breath,

My ambitions, leaving nothing but scratch

Chains finally managed to enslave my heart

And made me and my soul forever apart.
