Waiting For Freedom

Waiting For Freedom

A Story by AyeooSteph

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.
