Chained to the Wind

It's all the same

But I'm to blame
I get nowhere
I just stand and stare

Fear looks back so bold
I get freezing cold

So I run away
Tomorrow will be just another today

Walking circles, crying tears
Talking tall, backing off my fears
Hopes have no length
Dreams have no strength

I'm fighting to stay afloat in deep emotion
I'm not a poet, I just feel his pain
I'm always heading where i have no choice
I'm not free, I'm just chained to the wind

Mirror please lie
Don't force me to cry
I hate what I see
Why am I me

The road is so damn long
Many things yet to go wrong

Take them as they come
How fast can I run

Dark skies hover above
Shallow currents of love
Why do I need so much
Life's deceiving touch

I'm fighting to stay afloat in deep emotion
I'm not a poet, I just feel his pain
I'm always heading where i have no choice
I'm not free, I'm just chained to the wind

I love this whole thing, Mark! The rhymes are wonderful!

Its true in emotion we rarely have a choice what we feel and don't feel and its hard to bear sometimes, I like the message in this poem; its conveyed beautifully. Also, the flow is wonderful. Cant wait to read more :)
