As I lay in my bed and pray Reminisce how much a prey have I become Thought hovering, un circumcised ones Because I was bitten twice for a crime once done Wish all the pain I feel someday be undone Wish to smile again and feel genuine joy Away with false pretense and feel the real one Hearts can't feel the warmth of this tears As the fire in my eyes breath out from a deep end Set me free and from the seal, as a slave to a cage Yearning for freedom from the captors Tried to feel my mind with so much distraction Found out like a mirror only myself I see Broke the mirror, sought to see other's pain No pain no gain, had to be what I wasn't just to get attuned. Yet critisized viewed as a fluke Took destiny in my hands work twice the time Read all I could, my eyes barely ever closed Wrote it all story of the time, no one cared to listen, their ears blocked up with hate Rose from the dust to the mountain I only ever dreamt to climb. In the end it was all emptiness I felt, because they yet critisized the source! She made me grow faster than I thought. Smiled at me never hissed at my rot Over looked my fault and brought me succour Truly only Hailie Sellasie Sees |
