Accumulated anxiety fostering tears / So you ask why me
Why this have to be / But you know / You did it for show

 

 

You Never Know

By Roxann "Kujitua Baraka" Latimer Dadzie 

Once it was laughter now it's just pain
Your eyes in the mirror reflect the shame
Not yours but his, the sorrow years
Accumulated anxiety fostering tears
So you ask why me
Why this have to be
But you know
You did it for show
Just to say
To have your way
And now you gotta pay
Just another day
This your song to play
You Never Know
