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

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!
