MY FREEDOM

I was a free bird

assertive and vivacious

proud of my freedom

elated by my wisdom.

I travelled with my wings

flew in loops and rings

hoped about and around,

lover of both sky and ground.

Luckily, I was not in a cage

away from servitude ‘s blaze

but one day I realised

the terrorising truth

I panicked and it amplified

it was resonating high:

though I was not a part of someone’s desire slavery

but still I was not free.

Actually, the cage was too wide

for me to realise

that I was encaged

sitting onto bondage’s blaze.
