Shira Faheem Dec 2016
Padlocked in a golden cage,
With the keys in my hand.
This is my chance  to flee,
To take my stand.
And conquer a new found land.

But,
the fear of the unknown cripples  me,
I look through the peephole
And what I  see,
A world of empty souls,
Produced from the same mold
Of  greed,envy and deceit.
Living pretentious,
How did they get to this feat?

Tarnished by reality,
Bewildered by the brutality,
I return to live in solitary...
In a golden cage,
Until the end of age.

Matters of the heart..
Cannot be
           Hidden,
              Suppressed,
                       Controlled,
                                   Tamed..

Allow your heart to..
                 Let loose,
                         Release,
                                Let go,
                                      Detach..


Only then,
You have reached
A State of Contentment..
(Give your heart a break!)
