I’m asked to write a poem about how I feel
As if that will clean the failure from my hand
My advisor, my friend my kingdom did he steal
My home, my life a place where I am banned
Every day, every night having to fight for a meal
A risk of punishment where I stand
My wife, my son, my daughter who’s fate I sealed
My blood, my tears, my failure dirty the land
The sky my wings long to peel
One day my smile will not be bland
One day my soul will feel real
Until that time arrives
I will continue to write how I feel
