Like A Bird In The Sky.. Poem by Tanya Roy

Have you ever seen a bird, flying in the sky?
Free from all rivalries and and problems in the unbounded sky.
(Contrary to humans)
Feeling the beauty and independence of world
Away from the interweaving crowd.
And never even they have
any tension for food and shroud.
(contrary to humans)
Have you ever seen a bird,
Flying in the sky.
With hearts full of proud and
A relief of sigh.

Have you ever imagined yourself?
Like a bird in the sky.
I had once..
But after my grandpa came to know,
He warned me against my dreams to not make it as so.
Instead that dream was not only a dream but an overturning reality
Upto my unpredictable destiny.
I was filled with remoarse and guilty.
I gave up my untold dream before restrictions of society.

My grandpa again told me.
I am a girl not too wise..
But born only to sacrifice.
I soon realised, my destiny is not only to be shaped as a bride..
But to achieve success..
So that my grandpa takes me as his pride.
I made it my firm determination,
That with full dedication,
I will try my utmost to achieve highest education
And then with flying colours I will be able to pass life's all examination.

Although, I know it very well that this manly world would treat me as a sly
When they'll come to know about my dream so high.
But I don't know that when I would fly, with whom I would fly and where I would fly..
But I do know it very well that once in my life,
I'll fly,
Like a bird in this unbounded sky.
