Strings Attached

Tied we are by strings so fine
We don't feel them and how they bind
Try moving far and they become chains
Yanking you back to the ground again.

I broke them once to set me free
But lonliness won't let me be
So I crawl back into my hell
Inside a happy gaudy cell.

Welcome faces greet me
Binding me fresh, with love and twine
Homecoming hero, I am
A new sentence, I do time.

Things I think I cannot speak
Of hate and sorrow my spirit reeks
Cannot find peace, Can't stop thoughts
Without my chains, I am lost.
