Analysis of Thing I Never Thought I'd Say
S.A Jackson 1993 (MD)
For things out there, I hope & pray
For in my Heart, I hope it stays
For words & actions, sometimes betray
For what is life, without things we cannot say
Things I’d never say aloud are better left unsaid,
Clearing out clutter, overthinking in my head
My voice is power, as another skin I shed
Forsaken choices in my daily bread
For brothers and sisters I’ve surely led.
