Chained
Lying on the ground
Eyeing the twinkling stars
He wondered if he is alive.
He feels chained
Chained to the
Expectations of people.
Chained to the
Rules set by the world.
He cannot cry tears
He cannot ask for help
Or for the world
He will be
Less a man.
He fears his virility
To become a question.
He fears his potency
To become a joke.
He turns pretentious
For the world so contentious.
It cripples his heart
It breaks him down.
He hides his tears,
To survive through years.
-Vipin Pratap
