Fighting For Self | Namawu Ali

Is this my fate?
I ask my poor self
When my heart is stolen,
desires murdered
Then family stand in the gap
To choose my path

Did I cast my lots wrong?
When the chance was brought
This drowned me in thoughts
As my mind is washed down and I'm left between depression and insanity then,
Society steps in
"Consider their words,they want the best for you"
As if my eyes have reached total darkness and can only see the worst

Is it my fault
I chose the head when I was asked to choose the tail?
Since my freedom is terminated and I'm left in the boundaries of confinement

Now I'm in a prison
For treason
Too far to enjoy Habeascorpus for my case is judged not in a court
I'm left alone to fight for self
