Waiting For Freedom

They walked past me

Throwing dirt on me

Like some kind of trash can

'Cause to them, I'm nothing

I never got to dance

Never got to go to prom

They never gave me the chance

To be alone, visioning about where I came from

I try my best to stay good

But they still beat me, saying I'm no good

I wish I could run away

Be far from them for the rest of my days

I'm tired of being locked in a cage

Can't see anything, i don't feel safe

I'm tired of them knocking me down

Making me sleep on the ground

There's a man I idolized

Seeing him, I became paralyzed

We never got to kiss

Never felt love's bliss

They abuse me everyday

Use me in any way

I never got to brush my hair

Stand on a big rock, feeling the air

They look colorful with all that make up on their face

Smiling... Giving each other warm embrace

I'm watching, but couldn't clasp my hands

Felt like I was in a wheelchair, I don't understand

I'm weak, but I don't show my fears

I don't want them to hear my cries

I stay hidden to wipe the tears

Falling down from my eyes

They ran me into the ground

But what comes around, goes around

So I'll stay strong till I get complete freedom

I just can't wait for that day to come.

Great piece.
Felt like a dream I had a while ago. THe beginning is so complete grasping and then comes the end:
"But what comes around, goes around

So I'll stay strong till I get complete freedom

I just can't wait for that day to come."

Loved it :)
Keep it up girl!!

The feel you created for me in this piece is one of quiet strength. That spirit in many people that refuses to lay down and vanish in the dust.

Nicely done

The first two lines reminds me of how I was treated in school, but anyway this whole piece is just astounding. I liked it.
