Chains

Each footprint marks a loss Tracks leading away Misfortune as a companion Endless trail of my failures Like a boulder to carry The burden of defeat The weight of the past Like chains on my feet Display of dejection Towering despair Superior regrets Beyond compare This bleak illustration Impression in shades of grey Like a shutter malfunction Burning colors away Black canvas that hides all stains The dirt of each passing day Scrapes from your nails Draw through the layers Portray the dark Display of dejection Towering despair Superior regrets Beyond compare
