These Ropes That Bind

A blank page
So bare and white
I can't fill it
Try as I might

So many thoughts
No words come to mind
I can't break free
From these ropes that bind

Like a ghost it haunts
It tells me things
Of dreams once lost
In my head it rings

I want to tell the world
Of all the pain I feel
But even if they listened
They wouldn't believe it's real
