Chains Underwater
You used to float on the surface, with the grace of a leaf
Now you're sinking below the surface, your heart heavy with the past
Chains move like snakes underwater, wrapping around you
They pull you down, closer to the shipwreck
Above your head a new ship, radiant and sturdy
It won't wait for you, not forever
Break free and rise, or explode into water
Becoming one with the past you fear.
