BENDING THE BARS INPRISONING MY BODY AND MIND
The circumstances of life shackle the bodies and the minds of countless people. There may be many people in the world finding themselves in some sort of a binding situation from which they cannot escape. I am one of those people who are held captive.
To me, freedom is aspirational rather than real. For freedom to become a reality, I must bend the bars that entrap my body within the frame of restrictions with which I have to live.
Even more significantly I must untangle my mind from the barbed wire which binds fears, concerns, anxieties and hesitation within the grey matter of my cranial cavity.
At times I come close to breaking out from the constraints that shackle me; on other occasions, I feel more bound and more imprisoned than any other time.
Is freedom a reality or an illusion?
I saw an image one time with the caption, “i am the bird and i hold the cage.” both the object and the subject. This is a lovely post.
Freedom doesn’t come ease. Good piece.
