The Sorrowful Liberation
Imprisoned in my mind
I was crippled by my fear
Like waking up from a nightmare
I cried so many tears
Even though I'm free now
I am burdened by the pain
Even though my hope's restored
My losses may never be regained
People say that being set free
Should bring a man great joy
But this sad liberty for me
Comes with a past destroyed
I feel as if I'd lost my youth
I feel as if I'd lost a piece
Of my dreams and hopes, to tell the truth
This liberty does not bring peace
I feel hunted down by void and fear
I feel pursued by such a darkness here
I feel as if this Liberation
Is as fragile as stained glass windows here
All it takes is one mistake
And black agencies my freedom take
All it takes is one mistake
And my future and my dreams will brake
This current liberation
Of my spirit and my mind
It's not as joyous as it is sorrowful
My fear is it may be deprived
My memories
My grief
They haunt me every day
My greatest hope, my great relief
Comes with the thought that I may be
Forever free, though sad it may be
My liberty is here to stay
