I am Life's Slave

Just a small piece of how I feel about life.

Chained down by the beating hearts around me,

Whipped by the ones without one.

Scarred by the ones who left,

A shadow to the ones who stayed.

Left to carry this rock to an unknown destination,

Filled with the pain and sorrow of the ones I see,

But I see no place where I may place this rock down.

The only way to break the chains is to stop mine.
