Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

In Chains

caught up in your
interpretation of reality
the nightmare repeats
in neverending loops

within confines
you’re your own prisoner
where in truth
there exists no bars

your cell a fabrication of illusion
that keeps you down and chained
unable to see the freedom
that awaits you
just beyond
