The Self-caged

The self-caged

She cries deep within, hiding her tears from the material world,
For being what she never dreamed off, but left isolated with the solo choice.
At 17 years, her parents had had any else choice except marriage,
         They too never wanted her today's situation.
She had no opportunity to lead her life with her 4 years baby girl,
         Neither she could leave her with an incompetent father.
She could be something else,
         But her lifeless and hopeless soul could not spread the wings.
The forest is full of women flesh hunters,
         Who tries to cage her every single night.
In the desert full of thirst and hunger,
         Her oasis of hope lies very far.
Far enough the bird cannot fly through,
         And far enough from reach of her caged screams.
The redemption isn't easy,
         Yet she puts forth all her hope,
In the name of LOVE towards someone,
         Who evaluates the bird for the weight of flesh.
