Title: Lost
BY: Isabella M.
Date: Jan.14, 2008
I am lost without self-love
I am lost without self respect
I am lost without confidence
I am lost if it is God that I reject
I am lost without my mind all together
I am lost within myself forever
My optimism gone, lost by pessimism
Scared to live life because of my skepticism
My apathy for myself is due to self hate
Continuous negativity, wondering is this fate
I am lost because I don't know who I am
I am lost because I did not have a plan
Racism, sexism, we can all relate
Our journey through slavery left us lost in a terrible state
Our fears used against us, our strengths taken away
We are lost mentally, through mental slavery today
Still locked up in chains but it is all in our minds
Divided as a people because we are living in hard times
I am lost because my people are lost, we have no unity
Fighting one another, killing each other in our own community
We are all lost because we want to be free
Unlock those mental chains, and so shall it be!
