being gifted is sadistic in the sense; I am told to keep delivering;

as hysteria flows through my letters until my hands are quivering 

the slate symbols sting like ants on my skin; leaving inky blisters

but I must go on because there mustn't be any whispers

my muscles have well memorized the unwanted obligation;

the cycle of- examinations, evaluations, and qualifications 

-my quill bleeds on the paper,
but I must keep delivering;
because who am I if not gifted?
