VOICES ON THE INSIDE
Oklahoma
You Failed . . . Devil
by Sharee A.
You Failed . . . Devil
Once Fractured
Broken
Shattered
Crushed . . .
While laying in agony, choking in the dust
Left to die
And I did
Oh, I did
But that is the only reason why today . . . I live
Eternally free
Now I know why the caged bird sings
The system tried to bury me . . . but they didn’t know I was a seed
Numerous battles, numerous battles . . . I fought like hell
So these boots remain prepped, tight laced for this testimony I tell
Are you ready?
Because . . . This . . . Means . . . War
