Caged Femininity
I want to touch the sun
But its a long long run
The shackles in my feet
While people find it elite
Restricts me from flying
Since childhood I'm trying
They say I will bloom
But it only brings gloom
I cannot dance, nor can I swirl
Because they say "I'm a girl"
I want to go wild
My heart is still a child
The heart meant to fly
Is turning dry and dry
They put my heart in cage
And no one feels some rage
One day I will fly
But it will be the last try
Then life will loose its meaning
As blur as now its seeming
