This Resilient Chainless Power...
Where am I getting this strength? Wow. It's very scary but im blown away. I'm blown away by my resilient power. I can almost, almost feel free. Free of those horrible chains. The chains used to be very very loose. They were always there hanging loosely around my neck. I didn't mind them then. I just shrugged them off. I saw them as a nice piece of ornaments that decorated my bare neck. Infact, I loved them. Everyday I would wake up, clean them until they sparkled endlessly and gently put them on. I would stare at them with so much awe with every chance I encounter a mirror. A mirror or a window. Any opportunity that I have to look at their beauty I would do it.
But....but with time, with time and wear the links in these chains started falling. Falling, breaking. And with every missing link the chains became tighter. And tighter. And tighter. It became so tight that I felt strangled. My neck, my neck was no longer able to withstand the pressure. That strangling pressure. And every time I looked at my reflection, my neck looked odd. It felt odd. I couldn't breathe. My eyes started to bulge and my face, my face was turning an ashy blue. I had to, really had to click that chain lock and set my neck free. Set myself free. And you know what? even though I felt sad, very very sad, To let go, I felt free. And my what a beautiful feeling is freedom.
I will always love the chains, but now, now it's a new era for me. And I can't wait. Can't wait to embrace what life is all about without these chains. And I am still strong. I will always, always have this POWER. This Resilient Chainless Power...
