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
