This poem captures the activities, tension, and challenges in an examination hall, comparing the examinee to a boxer fighting to win. The “wings” represent the question and answer booklets, while the poem emphasizes focus, determination, and perseverance as essential for success.
An examinee, a boxer in the ring
With goal to win and will to spring
He fights for a prize
With watchful, sharpened eyes
Alert, though his pulse still rings
He battles fearsome wings
Capable, yet he may fall in defeat
Slightest distraction, and he is off his feet!
Although the road is tough
And the way is rough
Each victory leads promotion
Each high climbs, an approach to greater recognition

*"Wings Folded In Silence"* is about having great potential and gifts inside you, but being too afraid to use them.
