Shackled
I can't really gaurentee what I was thinking when I wrote this. I am interested to see what it means to you though. Please give me feed back.
A heart that shackled in chain
Unable to express what in chamber
Deep doth hide
Hidden, its eyes do cover
When the glorious light
Do but for a while pass by
Hiding what shackles won’t show
For fear of that retribution
That what his fears
In shadows doth hide
If revealed would only lead
To another lock and chain
Only to cover more and more
Of the true self for fear of hurt
That should finally lead
To the depths of a prison
Where no light doth shine
And darkness and dank
Shall consume him till
Nothing remains but
A ball of chains and locks

It sounds like a soul that knows its in sin but doesn't feel it deeply enough yet. It cringes at the thought of God's retribution but does not yet grieve at how it has offended the Almighty.
