My Little Sisters Life

I sit down A glimpse of my past flashed Right in front of my life Everybody doing what their heart desires I was in the background watching as life surpasses me Mother choose my faith and my way of life I felt like a slave in the 3rd world Oh mother I saw a future of dreams that have to be a thought Everybody smiling and enjoying their childhood to the blink of no life "live fast die young" I imagined my life at a moment Mother closed her eyes and never saw the sky of light I had to think like an adult than play like a child I was brought to a land of cheese and milk But only to find out they were rotten I was made a maid of a thousand mistress I thought my grave was determined Until my unseen God gave me a Disney The place I nm ow feel free and at home I am free at last Free of a past that drained my future I am silently waiting for my future with all the joy in the world *Boipelo Duiker*
