Shackles Poems - Poems about Shackles

I taste the beating of your heart As truth drizzles onto my soul Daring me to challenge this equation That turns two pieces into one whole I embrace a broken mirror As I am claimed by torment beyond measure Calling me to face the rigors of this legacy But instead I run toward pathways of twisted pleasures I am adrift on a raft...

They taught us young, the fine art of concealment, Threads of ideals tightly woven, hard to unbind. What is perfection? What is normal? These are the whispers we inherit, soaked in like breath From mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, We’re shaped, folded, pressed to fit the mould, To wear the mask...

I stand here today Watching the struggles of yesterday The never ending trauma seen In a very deep ravine From a baby it’s clear to see She had been tortured to a degree The stories of mass abuse Should of made her a recluse A child abused over grief All she needed was love and relief A mother happy to abandon Only bothered about expansion A new...

Times facing nastiest sunlights And the human who frights!..... Me,you,is we all stand accountable. Will take a lot grit! To free the spirit... The day will come.... The day will come....

She wore shackles By Michelle Morris 27/06/2020 She wore shackles her whole life: Shackles of being a good daughter, mother, wife; Of being there for everyone, No matter how she was doing; It never seemed to be her time; She felt like she was an illusion...

For the love of the sword For the beauty of the regalia For the pride of the crown For the tower of the noble The cage be broken open; so the bird shall fly -- yet again far up into the sky -- to the bliss named home away from all shackles -- and memories of it!...
