Chains That Bind

hate is a prison

  where I'm manacled in chains

     restraining my wings

Jenna, so true, hate is like a poison, we must all let go of hate before it puts us in chains or destroys all good in us, well done _Constance

Be cautious and stay safe. Use your time to write beautiful poetry. What can you see from your window? Your island views, or memories from the walks you've mentioned in poems.

So true Jenna, many are happy to spend a life sentence in there never to be released. Tom

Such a waste of life that is, Tom. Some prisons have no bars, and it's the self-made ones that are the sorriest.
