Your hands bound tight
Even your heart feels like a cast iron ball boring into your soul
Your back aches
Your mind screams in pain
Rage gurgles in your throat
For years, maybe your whole life,
You've been shackled with self doubt, fear and shame
You've been told, or at least, heard,
You are not enough
You have allowed the actions and words of others to seep into your being
You've drug these chains, locked tight to your body,
Until you have embodied the hollowness
You barely see the light on your brightest days
But the light is there
Will you trudge forward
Breaking free of the binds, the heaviness
Can you find strength in your heart and mind
Knowing you are worthy
Look around you
Dig Deep
For you have always had the key to free yourself
You just had to believe
