Shackled {poem}
I am shackled by my judgments;
My beliefs that are running show;
My opinions that I think are truths
Are disabling me to grow.
I am chained down by my beliefs
Of who I think I’ve always been.
Not realizing that I have a choice
To break mind shackles for the win.
Rather I’m constantly upholding
What I ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ do.
Instead of following my inner compass
To reinvent myself brand new.
I am restrained even more so
By who I believe I’m not.
Self-re
