Analysis of Never know
To be black is a sin
To be fat is a crime
To be poor is a curse
Study the Bible to change my mind
Taught to hate myself until I was able to hate myself on my home
Grew into seclusion as if it was my home
Ventured out only to be hurt again
Lonely man, no woman, no friends
Prayers unanswered
Dreams deferred
Hope is on empty
Faith should be a four letter word
Love?
What is that?
My heart may never know
