INTROSPECTION

I am a girl of modern days

Work and house makes a winding maze

I have fetters around my legs

Given the wings I would have touched the rays…..

I am the flowing waters

I am the soothing breeze

I am the one craving creative laze

Given the wings I would have touched the rays…..

The words choke and the phrases die

After losing the war with time

They are engulfed in unknown haze

Given the wings I would have touched the rays…..

What am I, who am I?

What do I desire to do?

These undisclosed create a hurtful faze

Given the wings I would have touched the rays…..

I am a corporate player

I am an Indian wife

But the hidden narrator is lost in soullessness

Given the wings I would have touched the rays…..

But yet I will strive hard

And get my narrations back

I am fighter, I am woman

And one day,  even without the wings I will touch the rays…
