Restrained

 

Free from these chains

these chains that restrained

my thirst for adventure

pulling the reins

 

pulling closer tugging tighter

twisting turning tossing anger

fighting harder

breaking the steel

freeing my soul from a lifeless shell

 

free from the hell

that held me back

that held me forever

and holding me closer

 

wrapped with the chains

those god damned chains

the ones that protected me

and kept me from pains

from the pains that were felt

held back by the belt

 

the help of the belt

and the restrain of the chain

it was the help of my enemies

that kept me sane

i think this is your best poem. the idea of the protection of imprisonement is good, you should try and rewrite, be more selective and the develop the ideas- never be happy with what you've already got
