Terrifyingly Empty Words
Chains once as strong as steel
Are now as brittle as weakened bone
Threats that were once terrifying
Are now empty words
With my new found strength I rent these shackles
Wrists and ankles rubbed raw dribble sludge like blood of frustration
I know one day the blood will dribble as fluid as water
And when it does I will bind my wounds
With the shackles you forced me into for eight years
But this time it will be of my choice
And when I no longer wish to be bound
I will cast off my bindings
