The Longing

It tugs. It pulls. It frustrates. It yearns. It mourns. It weeps. It lashes out in anger. At the world. At me. It hopes. It dreams. It hurts. It bruises. It yells and screams.

The longing of a caged heart just to fly free.

Huh, I disagree, my view is one's heart is always free to do as it chooses, but in following it the person is caged for "life" wat say?

@Inner Vision:
Thanks. :)

@Cuckoo:
Words ARE required to leave a comment...is this your lazy excuse for never commenting? :P

@Poohi:
Sometimes the struggle is necessary to define who we are...but it's no fun when life gets consumed in the struggle without really ever flying free :{

@A:
Do you identify with it too?

@Vam:
LOL. If only it was quite that simple. *hug* thanks though. :)

@Himani:
Thanks. I didnt intend for it to be poetic, it just ended up that way. But glad you like it. :)

@Deepu:
The heart is always free to choose what it wants out of the options life presents it with. But sometimes the options are so limited that the heart is forced to settle for what it never wanted. Dont know if I make any sense at all.
