swim

I couldn't swim
But I knew how not to drown
A lifetime of Wading waters
with anchors Knotted 'round my ankles
taught me how to hold my breath

I could even float
Body buoyant in the waves
I was weightless I could drift off
But not far
Each link but an inch of Imprisoned freedom
I was a feather in a cage
Those chains were constantly tugging
Reminding me to stay
They tied me to The anchors cast in ego and fear
Those anchors weighed a ton
But they were not real
I manifested them with my tongue
And they made a home in my mind
Marinated themselves In sin and my self doubt
They were parasites feeding on my light
Growing just to weigh me down
They wouldn't budge
I couldn't phase them
So I accepted my fate

Until the night
I had to teach myself to humble the ego
i taught myself to scare fear
I transformed
the shackles Were loose around my new frame
​I taught myself how to swim in chains
