i need myself back

I need myself back

I've been to virulent places

Beyond my choices

Just so that I can please the pack

 

I need myself back

I've changed my hair,shoes,clothes, food

And went loose all in the name of the pack

 

When did the statutes printed in my mind get erased

The conscience that I used to have went blank

 

Oh how I need myself back

I dont know how I got side tracked

Coz being part of the pack has made me lose tact

I have wondered into a world that has me sacked

I feel trapped

All because of the pack

 

But now I realise that joining the pack

Was a threat to myself

So I need myself back

I want my sense back

 

Ps Radebe.
