Break Free Poem by Arti Chopra

I see your eyes
they tell me of suffering untold
I see your arms stiffen
they are longing to hold
I see your walk, its stiff,
theres tension unfound
I hear forced laughter
an eerie sound
where is the joy
the light in your eyes
where is the sway of your hips
your body language belies
where is the warmth
the chatter so free
i see only restraint and
measured words said carefully
where is the sweetness
the willing and the spontaniety
where is the dancing, the jokes and the gaiety
is it really you
or is it a different entity?
break free, be yourself
let it be..........
you have done so much
with your heart and all sincerity
but this is not what you deserve
this is not what was meant to be
break free, fly away if you want
dont waste this life, break the fetters
break free
