timmy's poetry - 12. Chains
In the early morning I can hear its song
though its wee small voice is fleeting
my soul yearning for something more
and sadness I can feel comes creeping
And the tears sit waiting but are not wept
for what earthly good will it do?
I can cry for an age but it would not be enough
There is no cure for what ails, not even you
You speak of hope but I have none
at least I don’t today
But I cannot do what must be done
To take this pain away
On days like this I am tired of life
of the pain I carry like a canker
It’s a Dickensian chain heavy and thick
and its weight wants to drag me under
