Was My Life For Rent Poem by John Dadzie

once upon a time
i was young and vibrant
i could sing but prefer to mime
at the dinner table were we dine.


for i was gentle
just as i should be,
as the tail of snake rattle
i was different but a mere muggle.


among them i stand tall
just like i should be,
like the moon i rise but never fall
nonstalgic yes i have been there before.


alone i stood
just as it should be,
and they never understood
i may be robbin but without a hood.


my breath billows the sea
just as it should be,
just by a glance soo many trees i see
but of a single seed i plant to reap.



i may be different
just as i shuld be,
but nevr relied on my strength
was my life for rent?
