I was a captive
Of the words, promises-made
Of the lips, lies incarnate
Of the eyes, opened to discriminate
Of the world, caged within a condemnatory kinsfolk
I was a captive
and my actions were limited
I was a captive
So are the words my tongue exhibits, scripted
I was a captive
So are my thoughts, being dictated
I was a captive
So as my freedom, chained to words
Restrained, shackled, suppressed-
I was a captive
I was weak
I live in fear
I was discriminated
I was rejected
I wasn’t wanted..
I was chased
But couldn’t catch me
I was a captive
I was shot
But they missed
I was a captive
I was poisoned
but survived
for I was immune
I was a captive
I was a captive
I may had
But I am limited edition
I was chaos
Now I’m war-
My thoughts are limitless
Bound to be border-less
I am power
I am strength
I am storm,
Unstoppable, deadly-
I was a captive
But not anymore
