Trapped in a cage
Of expectations and beliefs
Struggling to fly off
And escape the rage
Here I am
Thinking about my
Wishes and regrets,
The choice I have made
And the paths that have fade
Expectations tell me
That I can be more than
What I already am
But,
Don't they bind me
Not to follow what I wish to
Don't they make me feel
I need approval for what I do
Don't they stop me
From following my dreams
Don't they suppress
My freedom screams
I wish to fly high
Above the hills
Over seas
To see my potential
That lies beneath
Mind and heart are arguing again
Trying to stop me from being an insane
Mind tells to live
Up to the expectations,
Heart says to fly and
Reach the aspirations,
Both the choices offer
Different consequences,
One gives me certainty of what exists
Other, the excitement of exploring risks!
Now, it's my call
To choose,
Either stay in the cage
Or to fly high in the sky
Without giving others a chance
To ask a "Why?"
