Unbound

We are bound by the shackles in our minds Stripped of our identities Replaced by numbers Grouped by the color of our skin Killed by our own Wasting away by the wayside Overlooked by our environment Forgetting what we come from Accepting what we are taught Slowly we loose ourselves Reimagining a new self To fit in to what would make you feel safe Just to loose ourselves again We were kings and queens Society made us pawns We were masters of our own destiny Now we look over our shoulders The shackles are fragile Easily broken We are not lambs to the slaughter Just like the sun we will rise.
