Sitting inside a cage I look out
The bars of the cage mock at me
They know it was me who put them there
Fear, Pain, Hatred, Jealousy, and what not
With broken wings I sit
Content in nursing I refuse to fly
The promise of freedom allures me
Breaking the bars becomes expensive
To let go means surrender
Do I dare to dream??

The cages we build around our hearts can be so strong. It hurts to surrender and let go but freedom is so much better.
ReplyDeleteSo true...sometimes we do make our own cages. And we are content with them. All is safe within the cage & perhaps they protect one from freedom (and fear of failure). Nice!
ReplyDeleteSo many of us build our own cages. Let us all dare to dream!
ReplyDeletewe do often put ourselves inside those cages...and for whatever reason...sometimes they make us feel safe...but we dont realize what we lose in that as well....and we can only fly so far...inside a cage...
ReplyDeleteI know quite a few people who prefer their self-made cages to dreams, probably because as much as they dislike the state they are in it is one they know.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's so difficult to go beyond that comfort zone that we've created around ourselves...
ReplyDeleteMany of us have built our own prisons....a poignant write Arathi.
ReplyDeleteThis is great that feeling of the chamber of our own despair. The desire to break free.
