I am a slave

Confines my leg and arm

Prevents my action

Restrains my movement

Punishes me as a slave

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a fatalist

Feels myself unhappy

Holds myself Powerless

Submission our deed to fate

Causes stress to my brain

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a defeatist

Makes my heart disturb

Ends my dream and vision

Fails my attempt

Reduces my energy

Yes, I am in Chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a suppressor

Expresses sadness with my family

Develops negativism in my heart

Fears the darkness of death

Continuous the shackles of oppressiveness

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a Silencer

Cancels my word and action

Eliminates my role in advance

Destructs completely my thought

Eradicates immoral and evil inside me

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a Leader

Imposes duty to others

Exercises my work regularly

Organises idea peacefully

Uses my power to help others

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a Forlorn

Secludes from all relationships

Loses contact with my beloved

Breeds depression inside me

Worries about my insecurity

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.

 

I am a Solicitous

Mixtures my emotion

Disturbs my notion

Perpetuates my consciousness

Feels an unhappiness of safety and security

Yes, I am in chains.

Cooperate with my Lockdown.
