Trapped in four walls,
You feel an urge to break free
Barriers of brick are all you see.
You want to step out
Feel the precious breeze,
And explore the world.
Forbidden to see.
Is it because the heart just wants to rebel?
Is it because you know you can't?
Trapped in your limitations,
Of knowledge, awareness and traditions,
Of you, me and them, yours and theirs,
Why do you never feel like breaking free?
What should and should not be,
Right or wrong, morals and values,
Doesn't your mind ever feel the chains?
That binds it down to the society so insane?
Boundaries shroud its path every day
Of politics, caste, creed, and religion;
Patriarchy, misogyny, and perceived notions.
Trapped in your comfort zone,
The same routine of expectations,
Living to die, yet not alive,
In shackles of century-old traditions.
Why is it that your body feels trapped,
When it is really the mind imprisoned
Hoping to be set free.
