I WAS PAINED

I am the Scientific Writer who was scientifically proven wrong without an experiment,
I am the Social poet who was brutalized,
I am the Tv Presenter who was criticized because I didn’t sat in the class.
I am the author who was Authorized without any authorities.

I am the child who was pained,
Even my parents were made to be shamed
My friends ran in a black famed.
The devil casts a spell on my-named
I trust that God will free me from the chained,
It was because I wanted to bring changed
And my society hates changed.

All that stood by me is me,
No one chooses me
I chose myself over me
Because I am me ,and I will free me.
