Tied To Myself

my soul yearns for more,
but i`m helpless.
like a bird-wings cut off-
i flutter around ,
in search of that something.

dripping with guilt,
of all the days i let go by,
enclosed in the dungeon of dark life,
i lie there,
waiting for someone to knock.

somewhere - i imagine,
somewhere far off,
there is light.
light that can give me sight.


but i`m bound in chains,
to the firm grip,
of my groaning painful past.

i wear a scarf,
one that masks my wounds;
but my bleeding heart,
i cannot hide.
