Stirring the Mind into Thought

Slave Ship

I don’t know where I’m from
I can’t even begin to fathom
What family I use to belong
All of that has been long gone

Lost at sea

Don’t know the roots to my name
Another man’s I had to claim
If I went back, I’d be unrecognizable
So I stay here where it’s comfortable

Lost at sea

Yet I always feel out of place
My real self I will never trace
I just hold onto pieces from her
While here I remain a stranger

Lost at sea

Floating aimlessly, not knowing
To return or just to keep going
I was stripped and whipped from me
So I guess I will always be lost at sea.
