Robbed

robbed of pride and free will swallowing that bitter pill
lessons in patience and humility nothing prison can do for me
                                                                                                                                      
       will ever dimminish my divinity
                                                                                                                                      
     knowing such truth i strive and s
survive     keeping the flame within my heart 
alive                                                                                                                             



lest i should hunger wither die...


Robbed.
