X

Captivated
Decades of my life have been framed
To be accepted, I have to be X
To be loved, I have to be Y

Has it been my only way of survival?
Have I sold my soul?
Have I surrendered my future in some ridiculous auctions?
Have my hands been cuffed by fears,
Have I been so powerless?

No.
I refuse.
My life shouldn't belong to any box where I don't want to belong
My rights to be loved shouldn't belong to other's desire
My journey shouldn't follow other's travel plan if I don't want to
My freedom shouldn't belong to any hands;
But mine,
only mine.

- me in my rebel mood -
