Analysis of Steel Bars



All the hate they gave me
Made it so easy to give in return
How I truly felt inside
Was not a main concern
To me or to them
The hate grew on
Anger in my heart so strong
Knowing I was not where I belong
So blind to who I truly am
Forgetting where I came from
Steel bars locked around my soul
So many lies
No trust
Frozen in my life
Hate on my mind
So confused
No fair start
Pain so strong
Can not stop crying
Praying God please
Come break these steel bars
