Handcuffs With the Keys

Shackled by the past But I am the one The one who holds the keys Will I ever escape All of the tragic memories Will I break free Of what here that is holding me I know the answer To the questions that I seek Are hidden in my soul Just waiting for a chance to speak I bide my time Just drudging through my days As this mind of mine Searches all the ways There is no one here to blame As I make my way through this maze In my minds eye I can see I have been given The handcuffs with the keys The End By Greg P

Bravo! I relate...resenments I've held 'captive' and refuse to surrender, I've often said, my resentments are my identity. How shameful of me...very nice write, and I really found it easy to read...even read it again...nice job!
