Prisoner Of Self Poem by bonifacio alba

Oh that bird on the cage …
It wanted to fly high but can't!
Restricted movement seen
On the four corners of cage!

Prisoners then are enclosed
On a cell of the prison wall …
Serving their sentence to last
According to the verdict given.

Being enclosed in a cage
Cannot move as one wishes:
Freedom is taken away then
Until they time they're out!

But more painful prison to bear
Is the prisoner of self restriction
Enclosed in the mind of isolation:
Away from the changing norms!
