asma bahrainwala - Let Me Fly

I was born
Free.
Free to fly high
And soar into
The blue sky.

Please don’t
Confine me
In a concrete cage;
This would make me
Mad with rage.

Please don’t
Clip my wings
To prevent my flight.
Please let me sing my song
And reach great heights.

Please let me
Spread my wings
And take off into my life.
Please let me
Flap my wings
And levitate towards the sky.

Though I may not
Soar high
At the very first try,
But please let me
Sprout wings;

Please let me
Fly.
