Shackles

by John D. Evans

You took away my drum

You took away my frame

You took away my sanity

And took my everything

You took away my reason

You took away my chance

You took away my poetry

And tried to take my dance

You took away my Momma

You took away my name

You took away my family

And almost took my brain

You took away my dignity

You took away my fame

You took away my dream

And tried to cause pain

I was stolen

But now I am free
