Break these Chains of Pain

Break these Chains of Pain

An Ode of Loneliness

I never believed that making money could bring you happiness or erase the pain that it brings without your awareness

Living your life in the bright lights and fancy places does not add up too much when there isn’t so much or enough to gain

When the blood runs deep and cold, frozen to everything you touch

It is time to reflect yourself and break these chains of pain

Walking away from your dreams, can bring you happiness

A difficult path to take away of what you thought would be enough

It’s just a matter of what you prioritize in your life, for happiness is not something you can buy or gain by selling your soul

If only, you could break these chains of pain

When alone at the end of the evening, is brings you nothing at all that life tolls

Searching for that peaceful easy feeling, and dreaming of the one you love

Can bring you the happiness you have been seeking and that was once lost

Struggling to be free from these chains of pain

Knowing it was hard to change your ways, you found new ways to settle down your life, without all the running around

Ending up with family, friends and lovers, while both feet are standing firmly on the ground.

So it’s true, I gave up being a dreamer so I could settle down my ways

Realizing the neon lights are fading, and thinking about the ones who made my life special in so many ways

I may never cross these highways of life again; it may be it will leave me all alone at the end of the evening

Somewhere, while driving alone, I saw a sign that told me to stop turning out and burning out as they there turning out to be the same

So instead of wasting my time, spending it chasing a dead and already fading dream

I freely chose to break these chains of pain

I turned my back to admit, I had nothing to believe in anymore and that to keep going, would get me nowhere

Resting on my laurels of the past, I knew I would be alright if I could just remain sane and not worry about tomorrow

Agreements aplenty, there were times when what we had just wasn’t enough to keep us going in that direction

So in the end, I chose to spend my evenings alone with my thoughts struggling within myself to bear these chains of pain
