The Chained Heart

Don't chain my heart

Don't steal my bliss

Can't we learn

To co-exist

You are right

But I'm not wrong

We simply sing

A different song

I know you've lost

So have I

Can't compare

It's not wise

I know you're angry

I feel the same

But I refuse

To hold the blame

I know you're sad

I see your tears

Don't get caught

In all your fears

You have struggles

I have my own

But staying bitter

I can't condone

You expect

Sometimes you judge

That's no reason

To hold a grudge

I disappoint

You disapprove

I understand

I will improve

Don't condemn

My discontent

I'm learning still

 I won't relent

I know you try

To understand

I know you're reaching

Out your hand

But my heart

Has it's own beat

And my journey's

Not complete

I am searching

A brand new start

And so I ask

Don't chain my heart

It is true that love is a universal language.  But we all interpret, receive and offer love differently.  How we experience love and how we maintain the memories in our heart are unique to each of us.  Just because someone else does it differently does not mean our experiences are wrong.  We each hold love in our heart in a way that speaks to us.  We each express love in a way that touches our heart.  That is the beauty of love.  It touches each of us where we live. 

For love to really be experienced fully, it must be offered with no boundaries, no guidelines, no judgements.  Only then can love truly heal the heart.  Only then can there be growth.  Only then can life be lived to the fullest.  And when you offer love without restraints, it comes back to you multiplied.  When you release the chains on someone else's heart, you also release the chains on your own heart.  Love will set you free, if you let it.

Are you ready to be free?
