Fate

"What is it like outside?", I wondered

"You're too naïve to go beyond the edge" was all that they answered. 

How long do I have to live in this cage;

It feels worse than being on the unprecedented edge

My life revolves around watching the Sun rise and set everyday;

Looking at those same pedestrians passing by;

Hearing the honking of vehicles from the confinement of my territoriality 

And tasting the bitterness of confinement and captivity. 

What chance did I stand against fate? 

Is my life going to be so humdrum till my death? 

Whilst seeing others coming out in flying colours

I presume that, to them life is a gift; to me it's a curse. 

I've got wings to flap and flee

But how do I get out of my aviary? 

Let me see what it is like outside

Tell me where does my Lady Luck hide? 

How do I get rid of this incarceration? 

I'm desperate to dive myself into peregrination. 

All I dream is to wake up one day devoid of captivity

In the lap of nature and her wonderful serendipity

Where I won't be constricted behind those ugly bars. 

All I wish is to sleep peacefully gazing at those shimmering stars

 And that tranquil ambience to be illuminated by the bright crescent moon. 

Can I hope to live this unleashed life soon?
