Free Soul

Breaking the shell and coming out of her cocoon,

She pledged to be in that box not anytime soon.

Fighting her own demons took away her entire childhood,

It is then she made the first courageous move thinking ‘what if I could’..‘what if I could’.

Conditioned by values and feared out of obligations,

Enough! she said and embarked upon a journey of her own beliefs & interpretations.

In the urge to seek clarity, she went into the depth of things,

But learnt that not everything has a meaning and reasoning.

As she began- blooming to spread her fragrance; flying to touch the mountains; exploring to know people and places; transforming to discover her every colourful side;

Seldom did she know that in the world of black and white,

The land of grey area would hardly survive.

Again caught in a trap of social norms and expectations,

She kept protecting herself from such manipulations.

On entering into a head v/s heart rivalry,

One stopped the other from traveling to her world of fantasy.

Lumped throat, burnt belly and under eye bags were the price she was ready to pay,

As she didn’t want to reserve her dreams for some other day.

Symbolising herself with Phoenix’s spirit and glory,

Being a free soul, she aspired to be a writer of her own story.
