"Severed Wings" Poem by Eden Trinidad

society clipped his sprout wings
tore down his walls
rummage the pockets of his knowledge
bared his gifts
disapproving eyes melt his confidence

accuse "he is a son of a devil"

a virus ripped his bloodstream
at his tender age
unwanted intrusive thoughts
crippling his brain
the threshold left him

accuse "you are a problem of society"

no way to transcend and defy them
severed wings could not soar anymore
not knowing of his past past
internal hemorrhage rocked him
almost took his life...
