UNFETTERED

UNFETTERED 

I was raised by the hands of perfection 

Trained to be right in every decision 

Needs or wants didn't matter 

But strict conformity to laws and order 


Groomed to be a people pleaser 

Of dust and dirt i was the packer 

Not a single consideration for me 

Not to be heard but slightly seen 


I dream of a day when i will find my voice 

How it will be and feel right to make MY own choices 

When of opinions and expectations i wouldn't be bothered 

And breathe,live life UNFETTERED! 


The oddest one amongst my peers 

Always made to give up my chair 

I learnt to hide my thoughts and feelings 

To dare to speak will be grave sinning 


It is unacceptable to go against the religion 

Except on possession by demons in legion 

Still i am a human prone to imperfections 

Deeply troubled by unanswered questions
