                   Unrestrain Me


                   My wings tethered flutter restlessly
                   To unfetter and fly fearlessly
                   Aah! I find no way
                   I am entangled.
                   Time laughs at me as it flies
                   I silently bear as my heart cries
                   Aah! The torturous travesty
                   My hopes scrambled.
                   I scuffle to let myself free
                   I find no one to plea
                   Aah! The world out is a dead sea
                   My freedom lay trampled.
                   I sigh silently wrapping myself
                   With my tethered wings
                   In the closed cage
                   With an undying gaze.        @Mausumi Kalita Sachdeva
