I wore anklets all the time
Pretty ,delicate silver
around my feet....
My gait, graceful as swan
Still these anklets would
manage to tinkle ,I was identified with
And the World around me
sounded so sweet.....
I too took pride.
Being "belonged to"
Realising it little late
That anklets have bruised me slowly...
My thoughts weren't my own
Were borrowed by one,.
I "belonged to"
Stranger I felt to myself,
Also,Downgraded n lowly...
One fine morning I freed
the Finch ,I owned
From its cage..
She flew not too high as if
forgotten to fly
But soon,hovered high
For its first forage..
I laughed and took out
my anklets from the feet
Poorly scathed.....
Now onwards my thoughts
were mine
So was my desire,my vigour unlatched.....
