Thandeka Best - My Life

All my life i lay there,
Spat on and smothered,
The darkness hovering,
Oh, please leave me be.

Rubbing against my soul and mind,
Pounding, Creeping, Killing me slowly,
But i never die,
Oh, please stop this torture.

I run but here the darkness follows,
No where to hide,
No where to hide.
You teach me unkindness and horror,
As you show me your power.

Killing me, but i never die,
I jus bellow.
I learn to fly over the darkness,
Never stopping till i see all blue,
But never forgetting,
The darkness from which i flew.

Thandeka Best
