Cords

Cords of bitterness, cords of pain
Bind the heart, restricting flow
Tied in knots, bound in sin
Dam the rivers flow within

Cords of loneliness, cords of fright
Attach to self and self control
Joined in bundle, lost in sin
Wondering where your life begins

Cords of hate, cords of spite
Unite with demons, inner soul
Wrapped in thread, chasing sin
Looking forward and back again

Cords of hurt, cords of cheat
Fasten deeply, crushing blow
Banded together, embracing sin
Never loosing, never win

Cords of past, cords of late
Meshed together, long ago
Free from darkness, free from sin
Never to be who I was again

This poem was inspired after I listened to the song "I'm not who I was" by Brandon Heath, and also watching the video that is posted on his myspace.
