Freedom

Freedom

-          By Shubhi Sharma

       

Just like the little bird in the cage,

I feel stuck around in this worldly stage,

For once I want to taste the much longed freedom,

I search for a place where the seas never seem to end..

A place where the skies wait for me to flutter open my wings,

A place where I can do whatever I wish for,

A place where I can get a peaceful night’s sleep,

The rules the system the procedures,

Seem to bind me like those rusted chains,

Rusted with the ideas which freeze to change,

Rusted with those shattered dreams of many,

Of the longings they could never meet!

Life seems like a untouched book in a deserted shelf,

A book full of dust and unnoticed,

A book which was never given a chance to open up

A book torn with the pages of pre-judices..!!

This is not how it was supposed to be,

Yesterday night I dreamt  of those pinnacles

And just today it seems so far-fetched..!!

Dreams morphed into tears,

Happiness robbed of from destiny

Just like the cycles of day and night,

And that of the rains and plight,

I urge for a change in the system,

A whole new set of the world,

A world free of stupid rules,

A world where one can breathe his own choice,

A world of his own,

A world full of happiness,

A world full of freedom..!!
