AM I FREE TO CRY???

I lost my soul
The first time we met
The first time I dreaded
For you
Was when I lost my gem
I lost it in the oceans of fears
That wrapped it slimy hands
Round my neck
Like a shackle of chains
Associative with my descendants
The black tribe of humanity
Whom, since creation were made slaves.



This has been my obsession
My very words of lamentation
When all is gone
And I, left alone
Tell me
Am I free to cry?



With cracks in my young heart
Like the crumbling walls of troy
Besieged by the Trojans
My walls of defence
Crumbled the very moment
I made myself an option
And prioritised you over me
I prioritised you over me
And made myself vulnerable to pains
And aches
I would have averted it
If I'd known what the conception
Of my illusion into reality would cause me.




This has been my obsession
My very words of lamentation
When all is gone
And I, left alone
Tell me
Am I free to cry?



(Am I free to cry 5x)
Because now
I am but a slave of our vows.
