Freedom

 

My head facing upside down 

Restless and feeling drown 

With thoughts of the liberty plan 

From the steel thin rods around me 

More or less like a vaccum that 

allows nothing in it 

So cold and I am shirtless 

My carnated body is fading off 

My hair so weak and tired 

Nails are moving distance 

Life pitying me in tears 

Blind, with my two eyes open 

in a black weather 

Still I ride in the dead lantern' chariot

Misleading my paths 

Still sugarcoat me with lies 

I believe I have no choice and still I smile 

but my heart weeps deeply in sorrow 

Dont know how to go about it 

Sometimes I wonder when and 

how we get to our destination 

Still on a journey to the unknown land 

All I soliloquize with confidence is 

"I have a dream." 

The dream I can't even remember 

I once had thoughts I was the 

leader of tomorrow 

How I got captured, I know not

 

I see promising children as 

my time left me alone 

But they all end up looking 

at the narrow path 

Dark, thick and wild 

And I just still say 

"I have a dream." 

The riders make the horses

move with no blinkers 

The road is confusing 

I dont know how to survive this 

The riders beat the horses, 

they run fast and fast, so fast 

They laugh wicked and look 

in my eyes with sarcasm 

If I smile not

They drop me in the middle 

of the unknown path 

So I smile on my bitter face 

But I have a poor looking meal, 

leaves to cover my skin  

and an exposed shelter 

Who will take me back home 

and wake my mother? 

I am lost in this journey of 

suffering and smilling. 

I need freedom.
