Lost in Slavery

Each day I roll the dice, Each day I fold my hand,
Betting on my faith you’re better than I am.
Sometimes we are so ugly, the worst that we can be,
The wonders of this world lost in our misery.
I find myself unhappy, I find myself unclean,
Lost within the darkness as far as I can see.
And in the night I wonder, And in the day I dream,
Freedom is a bird that’s flown away from me.
Swallowed by despair, or swallowed by the sea,
Floating down a river - drifting aimlessly.
Loneliness, a note that no one wants to sing,
Do I really care or am I imagining.
I find myself unhappy, I find myself unclean,
Lost within the darkness as far as I can see.
And in the night I wonder, And in the day I dream,
Freedom is a bird that’s flown away from me.
But in the end I know, waiting impatiently,
Be dead or be alive, it’s all the same to me.
What’s left is said what’s not bleeds red,
Waiting impatiently.

Great and powerful write. I saw it on the least read. How sad. I loved these lines:
I find myself unhappy, I find myself unclean,
Lost within the darkness as far as I can see.
Glad I found this. Peace to you, Laura |
