Release

I'm tethered to my fears
like a ball on a string,
Grounded to the Earth
like an angel without wings...
Exposed to reality
like a peanut with no shell,
Like a spring with no water,
I'm just not feeling that well.
I'm bound to my dreams
like a robber is to theft,
like the remainder of my sanity,
they're all I have left.
I'm drawn to the rift
borne of a pain that never ceases;
Shattered like a priceless gift,
I'm left to pick up the pieces.
I've been pulled into this life
Like one to a frenzied dance,
and I'm caught in a trance
of my own circumstance.
I'm stuck to my faith
like paper to glue-
Like a detective to a lead,
it's my only clue...
Sometimes it's all that puts my mind at ease,
And it's also what allows the spirit's
Release.
