I was once considered a number
Locked away deprived of my shine.
Late night story telling through the bars to a friend,
Headline reading, from much stress and worries,
Newspaper headline and Fox 5 press stories,
Made me out to be an animal something unreal,
Like I had no heart or emotions to feel.
Free-minds changed everything with a speech I could feel
Taught me how to put my words on paper so the whole world could feel
I told me to keep my head up high and my feet down low
Promised to help me on this long road I had to go,
They have kept this promise on this road so far
Sending warm greetings and smiles from a place so far.
Now I feel in debt not just to myself but them
To prove the world wrong that I didn’t lose
But I promise to win…
