JÉ KI MI JADE (let me out)


Je ki mi jade, i hear him call;he calls from his dark cell hidden deep inside me. like a lion trapped in a cage;angry at what he has been reduced to. He was once a fighter,fearless and courageous. He was brave,he drove men to the grave.never thought he had less,always felt he was blessed.he saw his light,he could tell it was bright;he knew he was right.he had a vision and a sight. JE KI MI JADE!, he screams. How blind i had made him become,a shadow of himself. He knew he had his strength, all he wanted was to be free;free from the chains of self-pity that held him down,free from the fear of failure,free from the fear of shame,free from weakness,free from his teary eyes quick to cry ,free from his lips that never speaks JE KI MI JADE! ,he calls out for me in my sleep,he is the voice in my head JE KI MI JADE!,out of this box that limits me,i was once a man with no limit JE KI MI JADE!,out for the world to know who i really am,so they could hear my voice,so i can write my name in time. je ki mi jade, he whispers to me,as i stand face to face with the man i want to become,the man i once was,the man i sent to a cell,a cell deep inside me,the man i kept from the world.he is the man i want the world to see but too scared to let him out Je ki mi jade he whispers again and again
