WANT TO BREAK THE VICIOUS CYCLE

Want to break the vicious cycle,

Stop wearing masks and faces

that lie.

Break off the shackles

that bind.

Walk nude, pure, unaffected

I don’t know why?

                                 I can’t engrave in time and hide,

                                And mind my mind.

                                Or bury them, write them off

                                in the crushing waves of undulated sea.

                                 I have to break open the jar

                                Put the caterpillar free

                                Break open the cage set the bird free

                                 I hate being cocooned or chained.

I want to have a choice

I have a mind of my own that follows no rhythm n rhyme

Let me bring out the other in me and

have what is only mine.

Let the world beseech me

You can tame me but not my thoughts

Don’t strap me in time and chores

I am a butterfly,

Can’t take my colours away.

                     Will think like a man and dress like a woman

                     Be gay, lesbian or eunuch or may be wilder than I

                     play the role I want.

                     Will eat a snake, lizard and grass

                     I am what I am

                     So let me break the glass

                     to follow the bohemian path.

Let me open the box

Find treasures and pleasures hidden so old

Come on let me be bold

Bold enough to break the invisible chains.

Oh! women let us change

For once and all

I am calling out

This is the last call.
