Everyone has a ball and chain... It comes with "this life" via soul or brain Or sometimes a physical deficiency-- Either way, it comes to both you and me. Everyone has a ball and chain... A job or a marriage, unwavering pain And forever, we mask and or simply deny This affliction, this burden...I wonder, "why?" Societal expectations?... Well, who are "they" to say? They are "dragging" their own! Most feeling the same way! Everyone has a ball and chain... Days spent in the "cold and the pouring rain" Endeavors that never came through in the end-- But chains can be broken!...It is true my friend!
Reason for writing:
Thinking about my own ball and chain....There have successs and loss....But I will never stop trying to break the chains that bind.
Birth sign: Pisces
