You could only...
You could only clip my wings,
but not my dreams.
You could only cage my body,
but not my fiery soul.

You could only clip my wings,
but not my dreams.
You could only cage my body,
but not my fiery soul.
You could only chain my hands,
but not my revolutionary ideas.
You could only restrict my movements,
but not my wanderlust soul.
You could only break my bones,
but not my bold spirits.
You could only gift me scars,
but not become my healing process.
You could only snarl,
but not talk mellifluously.
You could only penetrate patriarchal practices,
but not treat me equally?
You could only suppress my dissent,
but not my battling self.

If words had wings,
They would fly
And people would cage
The beautiful
And kind words
To soothe themselves.

GUILT, MY GILDED CAGE
With shining bars self-made,
I wrought a cage
Round my heart,
Binding myself in.
The crime was not grave,
Not even worth discussing,
Pardon came easily,
Yet, my imprisoned heart
Prefered it's cage.
There inside, in an exile of
My heart spent days and nights,
Adding flaming rods of self loathe,
Fortifying my prison.
A clear blue sky,
Inviting me to spread my wings
Lay abandoned, ignored,
While I languished in a cage
Shining bright with my guilt.
Today, I've decided,
To break free at last,
After years spent on bondage,
I break out of that stygian gaol.
One by one, I tear apart
The bars that stood around me,
Self loathing, self pity,
Worthlessness, all shatter,
As I decide to break free, at last.
As I flap my new found wings,
I turn back one last time,
There lies the remains,
Debris of my gilded cage - shattered.

invisible cage
i shouldn't need cuts along my arms
to show you i'm putting myself through harm
my silence alone should be setting off alarms
i shouldn't need to talk to a stranger
just to get help
because i feel like i'm in danger
from myself
i shouldn't need physical scars
for you to see the mental bars
the ones i put up to shield you from me
i'm living in a cage
that you don't see

Break the cage,
Break your limits,
Be little bit hard on yourself,
Know your inner strengths,
Then,
You will know your are limitless...

आज़ाद कर
पिंजरा खोल आज़ाद कर उसे परवाज करने दे, वो अर्श का परिंदा है, तू फर्श पर छुपाया ना कर.

Let them live in peace and not live in pieces. The mind and soul will always be ignorant about the rule of gender as they feel freedom out of this boundary.
Maybe it's difficult for us to accept this kind of change but it's more difficult for them when they have to live with opposite personalities at the same time that too for lifetime!
PS. Don't know if this really fits for the challenge or not.

Thank you @writersnetwork ♥️Opposite
Though I have one BODY
But I'm opposite.
A boy by SEX
And a girl by GENDER.
To whom I should surrender?
To the hormones; my psychosocial urges?
Or to the genital organs
As society would discriminate me
From a normal human being?
From childhood I was fascinated by
My mom's saree, the colours, the patterns,
The beauty of variety of dresses
And ornaments.
I have seen the night sky draping itself
With many stars of twinkling colours
And at last wearing the most
Precious pendant: the moon!
I have seen the sky wearing
Clouds as bangles coloured by
The magical sun.
I have seen the sky wearing
Rainbows as earrings.
No! I'm not allowed to enjoy this
Because I'm a boy!
But how I will convince by SOUL
Who is ignorant and dumb
About the stigma called gender?
I forcefully need to prison my soul
Behind the bars of societal norms
That your body is the only thing
Need to be alive and the freedom
And state of heart and soul is
Either neglected or murdered
Just because you are not allowed
To do different, to be different
And feel different.
I love long hairs which
Flows like a waterfall
Around which the butterflies
Sing their lovely poesies.
Yes I'm strong and soft hearted
Just like my mom who becomes
A warrior and a charming queen
As the fraction of situation changes.
What do I do when opposite
In the me have started a deadly war!
Who will win the battle?
Who will lose the battle?
These thoughts triggers myself a lot
And my neurons itself gives
Shock treatments every moment
When I step out of my room
And have to live like a puppet.
The intensifying storm started
Destroying myself and each day
New bruises sprouted which was
Deep and dark as the black holes
Where no one wants to enter,
Not even me!
I couldn't tolerate the same poles
Of magnet as they constantly
Repel eachother more stronger each time.
Finally I removed away all heavy toxic
Polluting thoughts and succeeded to
Overcome the storm by transforming
Myself to a girl as per my soul's need.
Yes now I'm a perfect deaf to the society
As my soul no more hears their compulsions
But my silent, alive and playful smiles
Are now enough to make a roar
That keeps on echoing the bravery
And choice of my decision.
Now I have became that sky
Who embraces beauty of
Both day and night
Without any limits.
I may seem like swirling cluster
Of messed particles
But don't forget one day
It transforms to planets,
Galaxies and universe too!
After all I have to live my life,
No one can live my life for me,
No one can feed my soul with
Their commands as
Only universe synchronizes
With my soul and no one has ever
Dared to alter the algorithm
Of the universe!

I crave your touch on my curves,
The way your finger-tips glide like water onto them.
To brush aside the hair from kissing my eyes out of jealousy.
To reach my wrists, caressing the arms.
So you can tame my infinite energy,
Make me feel how it feels to be controlled
As i haven't let even my brain dominate since quite a while.
I let you take the charge of me and myself,
But remember i have always feared being left.
But for once i wish to take a chance, happily
Everything's on stake and nothing's rest.
Beacuse getting hurt ultimately is the rule,
And i proudly choose you to take me through the whirlpool!

She was given a pair of Wings to fly,
Along with her Beauty to admire.
The saddest part is,
She was locked in a cage before all of this,
Making her lose the ablity to enjoy her Freedom.

Help Me, Please
They are mistaking my hesitance for laziness
I'm tired and I don't know where my energy is
"I can't do this" but they push me anyway
Telling me that I am strong enough to stay
But they are not hearing the words that I say
They assume that I know how to handle this
But I still have no clue what to do with this
My motivation is thrown out the front door
I'm falling and I'm about to crash to the floor
I'm breaking apart, I can't take this anymore
Not independent, I lean on people too much
So busy using those closest to me as a crutch
I'm not a good friend, or a daughter or sister
I tear into their lives like a full blown twister
There's a demon in me and I can't resist her
Stop trying to fix me, I can't be unbroken
Just stop and listen to the words I have spoken
All I've ever needed was for someone to listen
To hear my words and search their definition
Because right now I'm alone in this prison
A cage that I've locked myself in.
I still have the key
but won't set myself free
because I need a hand to guide me.

Trapper
Trap set
Prey approaches
Sniffs the bait
It circles around
Sets course to leave
Another day without food
Dinner returns
Hold breath
Careless paw snags
Cage falls
Meat on the menu.

Are you willing?
To be vulnerable
With someone
To trust
To feel something
After all the wounds
You’ve made
And the ones others have made to you
Are you willing?
My brave
Friend.
To let your heart out of its cage
And stand before another
Without a mask in the way
Are you willing?

Bird in a gilded cage
Oh bird trapped in a gilded cage,
No one understands your pain,
your helpless rage,
Trapped in a facade, you look at peace
Inside you rages
a sea of unease
Your melancholic despair
As you gaze into the blue yonder
Seeing birds fly, do you too ponder?
Suffering in silence behind bars of gold
What a good life you have, you're always told
Yet you are sold.

There is a hefty load on my chest,
I can't breath, neither can my spirit.
Leave the cage of ribs and bones,
My heart palpitates bitterly,
Yet, I can't make it stop.
Dear lord please take it away,
Or then again shut the beat in my heart.

I deemed myself a monster
For having feelings and being hurt.
Like a typical human I caged the monster,
Shun it, hate it, kill it.
I almost succeeded,
Until my compassion came for me.
They said: never make yourself bleed!
I said: I thought I deserved to bleed...
They said: you need love only love
I said: but then I'd have to give myself a shove
They said: everyone needs it climb above.

Kicking your open wounds only makes you die faster. Please accept when you need help, and help yourself.

Deep Emotions are locked in the cage of silence
Silence is crying in need of a companion.
Companion is waiting for unbreakable trust
And
Trust is waiting for a genuine and lovable person.

I Want...
I want a world where
my Voice is Heard.
Where the drops of Rain
Aren't louder than me.
Where the rays of the waning Sun
Aren't brighter than me.
Where the questions I ask
Aren't dismissed like the buzzing of a Bee.
Where the answers I give
Aren't lost in the Sea.
I want a world where
my Face can be Seen.
Where the shade from my Shadow
Isn't belittled by the Tree.
Where the touch of my Fingers
Isn't whisping past like the Breeze.
Where the oyster in the Ocean
Isn't crying for the pearl it can't seek.
Where the bird in the Cage
Isn't begging to be free.
I want a world where
my Voice can be Heard.
Where the pictures in the Caves
Aren't waiting for humans in Envy.
Where the people on the Streets
Aren't running, soo Busy.
Where the children in the Garden
Aren't feeling ordinary.
Where the promises that are Made
Aren't making me Weary.
I want a world where
my Face can be Seen.
Where the Sloth on the tree
Isn't moving soo slowly.
Where the Butterfly on the flowers
Isn't wandering aimlessly.
Where the Respect for a human
Isn't made into a Plea.
Where the time that is Past
Isn't making me Empty.
But alas,
The world isn't what I want.
I can not be free.
As invisible as a spec,
That flies between you and me.
