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
