Encaged Freedom




An iron vehicle crushed me down 
And now I am all iron 
My legs are stuffed with it 
And iron cloak is hung on back too 
I sit on iron chair 
And I have replaced my bed too
Wooden one with the iron one 
Inside the veins, run iron 
Outside I have is,
All Iron. 
So I call myself Iron Lady! 
But do you know? 
All my people are worried 
That someday,
I may iron up all the emotions 
that nurture my soul 
And help me in drawing breath
So after every other day
They walk up to my room 
To spend some time with me 
Not making me become 
A victim of an isolation 
But do you know?
They are consuming my freedom 
My wheelchair isn't my crutch,
But they are becoming the one!
I am a rebel 
Who inhale freedom
Which people consume,
By their presence.
So I tend to enjoy their absence. 
I crawl up to the door 
And look Through the gauze 
My sky,
Where stars are embedded 
And shine for me
And to feel the sun warmth 
That help the blood flow in veins
And prevent it from turning into cold 
Coz cold blood is death 
And I see the rain 
Pouring down the sky
Complementing the drops 
That roll down my cheeks.
But I don't go out! 
Out of this door,
Coz this door is succeeded by a wall,
And few steps between door and wall is my empire 
If I go out, reach up to wall,
Where would I go further 
I will be bound 
So I stay closest to the door 
Peeking through the pores 
And amusing myself 
That I have an empire 
Full of freedom
How insane I am 
Encaged
Yet inhaling
Dying breathes of freedom!
