The dangerous side of life hit me at the face
I was wondering why i had no space
With all my effort and inherited pace
I still ended up in this little cage
It is so dark and empty out here.
Please listen carefully and get my word out there
All i seek is the knowledge and wisdom to get out of here
Because i know riches and wealth have a place for me out there
All i have now are my dreams and vision
Packed, set, ready to go on this mission
But this forces have my clear vision
so putting me in this hole became their mission
What am i to do in this sad world?
Beg? fight? cry? die or sleep and never wake up,
Because sitting alone in this lonely world
had brought no gain than use my words
so i screamed and cried aloud for help
i ran back and front till my skin melt
then there was this cool air that i felt
it calmed me down and told me there was no help.
