Restraint
By Kavya Mehulkumar Mehta
the air of captivity feels more like oxygen,
as if it were my greatest need-
more than the air I felt then,
the one free from all.
the cage remains my good old pal,
the idea of flying becomes
more like my foe.
albeit I wish to be freed,
I must remain devoted;
forasmuch, I choose this.
By Kavya Mehulkumar Mehta
Great
Excellent work..
A gentle and thoughtful poem that shows how familiarity can start to feel safe, even when it limits us.
The emotions are quiet but deep, and the contrast between freedom and comfort is very touching.
It beautifully reflects how the heart sometimes chooses what it knows, even while wishing for more.
Great imagination
Great expression of thoughts
