This fate was sealed
the moment I was born
Born in a cage I was
condemned to live there
My mind got trapped in a box
so it could not escape
Life’s choices were eliminated
when my gender was revealed
I hear there are lands and people
which offer freedom and opportunities
- words which ring a bell with remote
abstract connotation in my brain
For as if I live my life each day
in a translucent glass ball
I am unable to see the outside
world but they see me alright!
