life of me

Thu, 06/12/2014 - 23:44 -- Monaiye

I just wanted to see'em, wanted to be near
I took a risk despite my condition, despite my fear
Now here I am trapped with no way out
Brains ain't gone help me, strength might, but how
I feel the lashes form as blood drips down my back
The rage inside me makes my body scream
ATTACK
how did I get into this
I can feel the whip
I try not to shout
Finally, I am free
Free from the tree but not from my life
How do I get out
They grab me
They take me back for I am a slave
I need a way to be with them again
But for now.....
This is the life of a slave
This is the life of me
