MY CHAINS

I have many chains to break I know

I’m working on them as I grow

I ask you not to judge my chains

But to help me through the pains.

Before you judge all my chains

And turn your nose up in distain

I ask you look at yourself honestly

Then accept me most completely.

I know I have chains of despair

I hope you’ll love me and care

Of love anew this I also fear

Through my eyes you can peer.

My broken spirit is also a chain

The hurt I endured all in vain

Relationships of my past failed

Disappointment was unveiled.

This time I hope you are different

Love me for me without judgment

If we allow our love to grow

Our chains won’t matter I know.

Once you understand your chains

You’ll better accept my pains

Together we can work and grow

This is a sign of true love I know.
