Chains of sin

Shackled by my own mind , but a mind which does not feel as though my own. Why; i ask, that a head upon shoulders i know belonging to me, can i not control .

The power of will, others do believe i lack,yet my inundation of uncertainty builds.How could a reason or bold excuse such as  that, compare or compete with my seeping heart black.

I fear these cuffs of sin hold indestructible superiority , and bare no key to unclasp. Although Presenting resiliency and strength toward so many aspects in my life lived already,

      
     I'm loosing balance and the future seems unsteady

You have shown this realization well in this poem. Most peeps don't like this truth, so they suppress it with some of life's convenient distractions. Worst yet, they often reject the way out of sin and death. Glad I found this poem today.
