Open Eyes

Please break these chains, my chains of youth

Throw them into the ocean

Break these chains, my chains of habit

Melt them into something new

 

Break these restraints, bonds, and chains

The barriers that taint my reality into

A single point of view

And hold me back to hide my pain

 

Please break these chains, tethering me to the sidelines

An observant prisoner unable to participate

They excuse others from reaching out to me

And me from showing that I'm not blind

 

Please break these chains, though they made me wise

I'm ready to waterfall into the world

I'd rater a flood of harsh reality to a stream of safe wisdom

So long as I can open my eyes.
