Caught in the shackles of this evil world
I long to go back to the time when I took birth
Go back to those days when I flew free
Back to those days when everyone loved me
Where I wasn't burdened with expectations
Where world was nothing but one nation
Where my dreams were asked to wander in wild
Where the work I did was always right
I want to go back to that time of mine
When falling in crowd wasn't any crime
Experiments I did were always encouraged
Not to forget that then even I had this courage
It was Different from the times where I live today
Different and I can't comprehend its ways
As the time passed I hand to mend my ways
Get used to these rather less shiny days
Now I am expected to fake a smile
Be in robes of a person who has to do all things right
Speak no truth but back bite people each time
Forget myself and become a wine
Work as a system loaded with instructions
Violating which may result in destruction
I am trying hard to survive
Wanting to be a bird again and fly really high
Keeping myself chained is now driving me insane
Want to break free of the rules that keep me chained
Want to run in wild, want to laugh out loud
Want to do all those things that my heart says
Explore those less walked upon ways
Want to go back to those glorious days
But soon that I realize that I am chained
Dreaming too much may cause a lot of pain
And I soon come back to the reality
That I am Caught in the shackles of this evil world
But still I long to go back to the time when I took birth
Go back to those days when I flew free
Back to those days when everyone loved me
Rules are not chains, that restrict your freedom, though transition period is tough, you may evolve as a better breed.
Great message.everyperson irrespective of caste and creed do think about going back to the infant state.its pure and protected.i loved this work aish.
