My guide said,
Here is where the slaves would be wipped,
To see how strong they were.
How I wished I was one of them,
So I could feel on the outside,
What I felt on the inside.
So I could prove my strength,
So I could show the marks of my inside pain,
People would know.
That I only failed when life left me.
