I want to tell a story
But I’m scared of the outcome
I want to tell it all
I worry if you’ll understand


I want to tell a story
About my unspoken past
I want to tell it all
About my dark side

I want to tell a story
I am so so scared
Will you believe me if I do?
Will you walk with me through?

I want to tell a story
Talk about my inner feelings
I  want to tell it all
Clean it off my chest

I want to tell a story
Talk about my insecurities
I want to hear you say
You’ll be there till the end

This is my story
Scared to let go
This is my tale
All scripted for you to know

I want to scream
I want to name them
Nightmare for a while
In the dark creepy basement

Kept in by the known
Like a dog on a leash
No say at the time
Noone on my side

Hidden from the world
Hugged by my fear
Desperation to run
No idea where I was

Feeling unloved
Did no one care?
No anger but remorse
In this open doom

A wormhole underneath
Sucked in all the pain
Open in my own space
I just want a clear day

A light strike in the room
Reveals a hidden open space
Finally I can run
No longer on a leash

Silenced by the arms of injustice
Red lights shine at every corner
Mobs take on the justice
I can’t speak there is a border

Silenced by the arms of injustice
Too tight I struggle to breath
School girls on every corner
All bubbly it shows on their tummy

Silenced by the arms of injustice
I try to speak up but all in vain
Street kids roaming the streets
All whining in pain

Silenced by the arms of injustice
At the far end I see him take bribe
Uniformed and armed I dare not speak
He walks with content and pride

Silenced by the arms of injustice
Discrimination is a daily bread
Unclear unfulfilled for most
In the shadows they try to hide


Silenced by the arms of injustice
A tighter grip on my mouth
I want to speak out
Fight for the impending justice

My eyes are homeless
My heart restless
Cant seem to find
Inner peace restored

Clouds moving in
Light fading
Finally again
Night is here

Body weak insomnia stricking Handful of hustle make my ends meet

The routene redone
Meals taken in
Beds spread out
Finally lay in peace

Gift of life given
No payment asked
Thankful from the heart
Escape to slumber land

Shaking and crying in fear
Everything just made me tear
At the corner of my bed
So much in my head

I had dreams
But all been crushed
By the woman I called mother
Why would she do this?

Twelve years of age
Turning over this page
Selling me to this man
Five times my age

Why was she doing this?
I had school and friends
Soon to disappear
For a life I never wanted

Couldn’t say no
Couldn’t run away
Couldn’t tell anyone
I had to smile and play along

Five years down the line
Bound to this man for life
Can’t help but cry
But I know I need to try

I finally find my voice
I finally find my feet
Run away speak
Fight for my own life

I  listen to whispers
A white light glitters
Movement detected
No man defended

I listen to screams
All like horror films
A late night dream
In all shades of cream

I listen to cries
Curiosity is all that flies
Tempted to go in
I want to remain keen

A lonely dark hut
Abandoned for a fact
Lying behind the trees
My heart instantly melts

I try to walk faster
Don’t know who’s the master
Afraid of what I might find
I wanna run and hide

A lonely man’s stare
I don’t know why I dare
Sympathy in my heart
For this man, I hurt

All left for dead
Rarely been fed
No family in sight
I want to help him fight

What is life without you
You make it worth living
You make it worth building

What is life without you
You go around in my head
I am no longer myself

What is life without you
With the pain there’s no gain
You still hiding in the shadows

What is life without you
I am so wreck I lost myself
My world is collapsing

What is life without you
I no longer feel the chills
Acting like I’m gone
We both in the same room

What is life without you
I don’t wanna be wrong
I’m at the edge of my road
I need you to come save me

What is life without you
If I can no longer speak
Don’t wanna waste your time
Done sending signals

But this is life without you
Acting like you act
Fate is fate
You no longer listen
And I no longer talk

Peer pressure from every corner
Want to make me a part of their group
Calling me a slut is all they knew
But in my head I knew what’s right

Strained to complete my school
Few friends in my circle
Bragging about advantages of sex
But in my head I knew what’s right

Two semesters gone
About to join second year
The pressure gets stronger
But in my head I knew what’s right

Wanted to maintain my dignity
Till marriage I pledged
Friends driven by lust
But in my head I knew what’s right

I still remember that particular night
When he forcefully took what’s mine
Hard to believe what he’d done
But in my head I knew what’s right

Fruits of the unjust act start to show
My belly growing bigger and bigger
Convinced to terminate it
But in my head I knew what’s right

The struggles of a virgin are real
But determined to keep this baby
Loving it with all my might
Coz in my head I knew what’s right

I am going to try Sorry for letting my guard down I wish I could bring back time I’m my head I knew what’s right

They called us gangsters
Saw us and run
The streets would go silent
Dim lights
Shut doors
A harmless gang we were
But our color was a weapon

Full of condemnation
Never thought of redemption
Coz all since conception
All we knew was
Blood, range  fear and war

Our color was a weapon
A weapon of fear
A weapon of destruction
A weapon of hate

Wait!
Did they ever sit and think??
Think that Black is just a color
One race one blood
One nation of one humanity

Dehumanised because of color
Like animals thrown out
Fed from the gatters
Inhuman it was

All smelt of racism
Discrimination all around
Dead black bodies on the streets
Like some unwanted creatures
This has to stop

Screaming at another end another man is dead slaughtered in the streets because of his color

Can’t fight this fight alone
Together we hold hands
Stop these killing
Of our own people

Eyes everywhere
Watching our every move
But we still fight
For what that matters

They called us gangsters
Yeah I admit we are a gang
Of stars
Black Lives Matter

I try to run
But I can’t hide
In the sea of my mind
The voices keep getting louder

I see you standing there
Hands folded on your chest
Thinking you might care
Thinking you will notice

I squat on the corner
Hands on my ears
Shutting the voices
Want to escape reality

In this mental institution
Dragged to by my own
Might have been a confusion
Want to make it known

White walls all around
I no longer see you
Something might be wrong
You are always there

I close my eyes
Clear my head
Want to shut these voices up
These nightmare to end

Racing in my head
I’ve reached a dead end
Finally its clear
My nightmare turns white
