Thirty Years A Slave [Dedicated to Those Struggling To Love Themselves]
By: Carlton A. Armistad
1.
Escaping, to where Body and mind are safe enough, to open up showing the world I am not afraid
Chasing this unforgettable dream, that My choices are my own and must remain so, as you will never own me.
Living, in this new space, free from Your disgrace and lies, can't be found by your spies seeking my captivity.
Independent, I can pay my own rent, curl my locks, flirt with jocks, hell I'll even paint my toenails red.
Profound, the moment I realized I am not one for your labels, as I know Who I am, accept It and we'll be fine Man.
Separating the truth from your vast collection of lies really opened my tear-stained eyes, I can see I am truly authentic & Free.
Emancipation, from your whips, torture, butchery, escaping you and your cruelty, my greatest accomplishment.
