Restricted! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Restricted!

Rating: 5.0


What should I answer for your questions
Answer lies restricted deep down my heart.
For my mouth will remain stitched ever
Even if you call me heartless
I will not utter a word!
I am bounded by restrictions.

Life is very beautiful
Those who live only know
They are dying each minute they live.
One Beautiful Life I am blessed with
But Bounded by many restrictions!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I have faced this situation many times, I prefer to remain silent. I think bitter words can just create ill feelings. By using some bitter words, I will definitely hurt others, but I will surely regret later.... I always pray I never slip any bitter words. Rather I prefer to take any bitter words which others want to tell for me..There are many cases where I am right...Still I think silence is golden, even if I am mistaken in any sense. This is nothing but a test of life. I have experienced the worst state too, where I cried silently for being misunderstood. It hurts me deep...But now I have taken it as a part of life......All is well....

Life is restricted and constrained. One must live within those bounds together with all the bonds. Nicely developed in the poem

Two lines from me: - Kisne manga tha kub kisi se qarz, haye majboor hayn azal se hum, Zidigi jaisi shay ke badle mein apne jazbat hay rehen aiy dost. (Who asked for a loan of life, we are helpless since ever, Yyou have mortgaged our sentiments for this imposed loan)

Only a caged bird realizes the worth of the free sky! To a certain extent, restrictions are nice so that you'll be able to cherish freedom better as darkness accentuates light! Nice poem, Geetha!
