Restraints

I have fought
These battles before
Victory is never
Within my reach
How can I win
This fight of my life?
When my hands are tied?
Bound together at the wrists
Tightly
Behind my back
So tightly
That I feel as though
Blood cannot flow
To the tips of my fingers
So tightly
That the numbness spreads
Quickly
So tightly
That I feel as though
I will never be free
From these restraints
