What is freedom?
A speech given on independence day?
A tricolour attire with a hint of Indianism?
A small badge pinned on the chest?
A song? A dance?
A bit of one-day patriotism?
What is freedom, really?
I'm still scared to walk the night freely...
I'm still scared to travel solo...
I still think twice before writing my thoughts in social pages!
It this freedom? Really?
I want to think free...
I want to speak free...
I want to express my opinion.
I don't want to drift into oblivion.
And, I don't want invisible shackles on my thoughts and soul.
And, on this independence day, that's my goal.
I want to be free.
I want to true freedom!
