Best Poems Written by Thor Carlton

Shackles

Gripped by fear, you're afraid to live
Hide in the shadows as time hisses past you
A prisoner, a slave within your own mind
Before you know it, everything is gone
Your time has run out
A wasted life withers away
Not a taste of freedom upon your tongue
Find the key to the shackles that bound you
Fear is your downfall
A prisoner, a slave to your fears
Face your shackles head on
The shackles that keep you from living this life
Fear of death, the greatest of all
Release your shackles, let them fall
Rid your mind of the fear
Only then are you truly free
