"My Paper Cuts"

"My Paper Cuts"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

 

I

Will you ever see it?

These thousand cuts that you have inflicted?

I doubt that you will ,

It is only me who is conflicted.

II

Every word , A slight

Every Seen , A Might

Every disrespect , An Uninvite

A block for every Dissension

III

Until the thousand papercuts bleed

And the wound becomes to far gone to heal

Where every touch is tender

And the fictions become real.
