my place
By cre
I have fought, and sought escape
from the heavy chains
which hold me to this wall.
Yet exhaustion bestows a makeshift peace,
and I think,
perhaps this is my place, after all.

Your place is wherever you want to be. The chains that bind are illusions of limitation. Struggling last forever, but don't let it hold you back.

it's wholeness down to 32 words while expanding on every aspect of it. Absolutely amazing, intentionally wonderful. I feel so drawn and wispful after reading this. I love your work; it always leaves me thinking with my feelings instead of my head. ~JMDW~

Hmm I think I'm still attempting to fight for my youthful beliefs but I'm starting to realize that they are just that- youthful- and it is just irritating me that I am inevitibly going to have to give in. Nicely written. ~Urban Shipwreck~
