Till the day they finally get to mourn.

Subjected to pity;
His calamity,never-ending.
Doubted about his sanity;
Emotions,repressing.

But, now he refuses,
For it to define him.
These walls,
to confine him.

He believes,
Different doesn’t always mean,
To be tormented or to be relieved.
To ace in any realm,
No need to be a socially futile gem.
