All I do is cry

Dear God,

This is your servant asking for yet the same thing. Lord, I serve you and I serve you to my best but I can't serve massah no more. I am lonely, tired, and frustrated, but Lord you know all this. You know how I gets to feeling. I ask my annie when we is gone be happy and all she say is that to take care of yo kid and maybe they's be free. Lord, that is not what I'm looking for. My newborn don't need to live this life. I already can't live this life with massah visiting our cabin and expecting us to treat him like we love what he got. Lord during the day, I try to depend on you, but at night and in times like these, all I can do is cry. Cry for my daughter. Cry for my husband cause when he visits, he sees my girl and knows that its massah's. And cry for my pitiful state. I want to leave but I got my family. I want to die but Lord you give me good health. I want to cry but Lord you already here crying with me.

Longing to be happy an' free,

woman unable to escape
