I flew around the joyous world,
My dreams went around to fly,
It flew in the cloudless sky,
Flew like a young bird would,
Mindless and free like it should.
Singing aloud all kind of word,
I didn’t want to see the world beneath,
I was happy getting the fresh air to breath.
Alas! I was caught,
Ho! What to do now!!
How to get free…
They have kept me in a cage,
The cage named ‘Expectation’.
Which I had heard about At a small age.
No, No I want to be free
Please I beg you let me be on top of tree
I cried and cried,
But nobody mercied me
I cried unless I had no tears
to be left free.
I asked what is this expectation,
They said something you have to live with
And have to fulfill it with determination
With no signs of pain while doing it,
With full sportiveness and liking it.
I said ‘Let me be free, I like it’,
They said ‘What you like is not the world’
What others like is your world.
