The Secrets of a Savant

What makes a savant?

Is there something behind those numbers that emerge effortlessly?

Is there some pain that cannot be calculated?

Is the only thing keeping me away from being extraordinary-

These wounds that are shaped like a maze?

Why must all my struggles be infamous?

As much as their skills are lauded?

What makes a savant-

Is not within me.
