Analysis of "Lost in our quest"

Poettist 1990 (Joburg)



We took a quest and led each other astray
while i knew Deep down all I wanted is to stay
Be the person I am and remain in my character
Change not for the world to accept me
But accept my self as who I am...
After a while I came back alone, yes I left them away
Their pressure was influencing my mind
While they were leading me to deep end.
They kept telling me I was one of a kind
Who are they you wonder, Nha... Never mind
Now that I was back all I ever thought of is how lost I was
Suddenly I realised "was" is no more
I told my self I will not go down the same route I took before even if it meant a war.
But firstly I had to shred the scroll of history in my mind
And write that of a promised future Jeremiah 29vs11
I prepared my mind for all better days approaching
Slowly putting together all the pieces
While with ink I penned down every thing I think
I conquered as they once told me I was one of a kind
I thought of them time and again couldn't take them out of my mind... Started to search for them and guess who did I find
Lost friends looking for a way back where they lost the trail
And I told them one day our story will be the tale...
