"The 31st"

"The 31st"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD 

I

So what is holding me back?

Not my age , Not my skill

Not the way I think

Not the way I kill

II

I fathom this question

Completed all that I have asked of me

My Muse beckons for another round

And I cannot refuse this fee

III

I look at the chains and I smile

I move a little and they crumble aside

So what is holding me now?

Nothing Nothing I cannot abide.
