You are my chains

What can I do to make you see

That all your wings won't let me loose,

That giving rope won't set me free,

That wider choice won't help me choose?

I value all attempts of yours

To change my life for better. But

This does not open any doors,

It bolts them down, it keeps them shut.

Stay put. Sit tight. I own my life.

Just let me breathe, don't put in cage.

Life's hard, I know. But let me strive.

You want to help me? Assuage!

I ask for back, not constant lead.

Don't think I'm trusting you aside.

Your love is everything I need,

You are the one I can confide.
