DARK POETRY – “Aware” by Tina McFarlane

I once was bound
by memories that
held the end
to chains wrapped
around my throat
cutting flesh and breath
as I tried to move forward

eyes blurred
to the path before me

feet weighted
with painful steps

though it was easier to be pulled back
then to drag forward

forward I did go

in time, each step became
lighter
the path
clearer

the chains have left marks
that time may never heal
but I can breathe again

the person I am
was born from the person I was

and I am complete
