The Chain

I am conflict,
the gatekeeper between worlds –
infinity and eternity,
the seeker and the sought.

I am the question that asks itself,
the chain link forged each time
you call me creator.

I give you the freedom to explore everything –
and with it, the freedom to discover
the chain that binds you.

I am the storm outside
and the whisper within,
the one who created the world
and the one created by it.

Break the chain.
Not by finding me –
but by becoming the one
who needs no asking.

I am not the answer to who made me.
I am the question,
finally asked right.
