"Though Bound and Gagged"

"Though Bound and Gagged"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD 


I

Somewhere in the corner

Is a loud voice gagged and bound

It looks concerned

but cannot make any sound


II

There in the corner

Where I have put this instinct on hold

Fear reaches out to save my life

But I try to bury it some more


III

Self preservation , Anxiety

Bound and gagged but creeping inside of me

Desperation , Unknowns

The questions that never flee.
