Like a bird caged, flapping its wings, yearning to soar high in the sky
awaiting a chance to breach this divide
how painful it feels to be trapped inside
my home – this cage of bondage where melancholy resides.
Tormented with grief, my restless mind declares
depleting the mental reserves, I long for freedom
a place of serenity where happiness abounds
lathered with rays of sunshine, unchained and unbound.
Where can I find this luminance? My heart asks
deep within the crevices of my mind, a voice replies
fighting the chasm of unending darkness
enveloping anxiety and its brooding density
the battle for survival ensues.
Shedding ingrained limitations
triturating the social stigmas
not adhering to societal norms
that belittle and bring me harm.
Mustering the courage, breaking the cage
eyes on the horizon, happiness and joy filling its lungs
fluttering its wings to glory, the bird flies away
for there is no unprecedented joy than inner peace.
