I feel like chains are ankled to my feet,

I hit my head on the wall in defeat,

Days go by without you by my side,

I have to hide everything inside,

I have to hold onto everything untold,

Put on a new face and act like everything is okay when really,

The chains are getting heavier and heavier.

The loudness of the silence is getting to be too much,

No matter how hard I try, the chains pull me back,

They taunt me with their cold glare,

Waiting for me to give into their despair.

Close my eyes to escape,

Only to be greeted by a darker place,

A place only known to I.

How long can you hide?

How long can you survive with chained feet?

Tell me, how long could you live with the fear of defeat?
