Scratch and tear and shred.

The pieces fall behind.

Chains That Bind

These chains that bind
My hindered mind
Scratch and tear and shred.
I used to know
What high and low
Was dancing in my head.
Escape I try,
But by and by
The pieces fall behind.
Try getting back
What now I lack
But chains are all I find.

Thank you! It happens to be one of my favorites among all the poetry I've written. I wish more than 3 per day could be posted here, as I have a slew of others I'd like to get reactions to. I just found this site a few days ago and really like the ease with which you can share and read poetry with any number of people.

Your "The Threshold of Forever" is another of yours I liked. You end your poems well. Again, thank you very much for your comments!

I like the brevity and the completeness of this. Nice stuff.
