Past Chains

I cannot see the past as clear as it may be; still I can sense its power and feel its chains on me. My future filled with hope is subject to its whims; binding me to yesterday and making dreams grow dim.

Nice cadence and rhyme. The meter was spot on in this wonderful little poem.

Meter is the flow of the poem, the melody if you want to see it like that. Your poem could easily have music put to it because of the meter.
