I told life..
I was a queen
Lost in my dreams
Dancing in my songs
Chirping in my own melodies
Laughing in my own chuckles
Flying in my own wings
Making my own trace
On which i walked in my own traipse
I told life
I needed no sentiments
I was not to be fettered
I was not to be tormented
I was a lavish fragrance
I knew no boundaries
I could take no miseries
But
Life told me..
I was not the queen
I was the slave,
whom no one allows own kingdom
I could not figment
I could not have,
the morning a bird fancies
I could not step barefoot,
for the garden was full of thorns
I could not get either,
the shoes to dance in
Life told me..
My brains had to be caged
My smiles had to be chained
I had to be doomed
By the convictions so firm
I had to break in blood
For it killed me brutally
I could not even holler over my murder,
for it will take me wrong
I had to bury me in me
There was no such spot on earth
Life told me..
Only it will LIVE
I will not..!
