Eight Beginnings - Chino XL

Brutally subjected to what a child should never feel

His innocence was splattered on the walls as angels surrounded him

A, child (a child)

Placed in his small hands, shards of pain and jagged pieces of hatred

He was given all the tools with which to destroy himself

But, he has not

Such is the beauty of resilience in a child who became a man

Who intricately and deliberately breaks cycles

Dismantling, everything, that hurts

Handing his children the gifts, that he was once denied

He told me he’s trying to get his wings back

My love, you can’t lose your wings

You simply have to remember how to use them (remember)

But, fair warning, he can and will destroy you

If you so much as threaten what he loves

He remains a partly wounded warrior, on an honorable quest for forgiveness

Shining, go, show them your heart (show them)

You are exactly, who you, should be
