Chains
Tuomas Saukkonen
Each footprint marks a loss
Tracks leading away
Misfortune as a companion
Endless trail of my failures
Like a boulder to carry
The burden of defeat
The weight of the past
Like chains in my feet
Display of dejection
Towering despair
Superior regret
Beyond compare
This bleak illustration
Impression in shades of grey
Like a shutter malfunction
Burning the colors away
Black canvas that hides all stains
The dirt of each passing day
Scrapes from your nails
Draw through the layers
Portray the dark
Display of dejection
Towering despair
Superior rеgret
Beyond compare
