Chains

"...the best chains 
are always the ones
I put on myself..."
E.Rinaldi

…chained to your truth,
grimacing in pain
as if at the pillory,
displayed
for observation –
how your guts will
tolerate the disclosure,
publicity,
revelation
of your true self…

We were once told:
you’re nothing to lose
except the chains,
but the whole world
you gain…
in our quest
for freedom.
