captures

for someone?

if you can enjoy a breath-taking view,
and not think about capturing it for someone;
if you can buy a flower for its fragrance,
and not think about giving it to someone;
if you can play an awe-inspiring game,
and not think about defeating someone;
if you can eat a delicious dessert,
and not think about being fit for someone;
if you can get a fashionable attire,
and not think about impressing someone;
if you can talk whatever is on your mind,
and not think about pleasing someone;
if you can laze around on an idyllic afternoon,
and not think about spending time with someone;
kudos my friend, you are living life your way,
just for yourself, and not for someone!

don't hold me prisoner...

the bright sunray,
entreats the cloud cover;
don't hold me prisoner,
for i want to shine free

the glittering goldfish,
entreats the pretentious owner;
don't hold me prisoner,
for i want to swim free

the chirpy parrot,
entreats the amused customer;
don't hold me prisoner,
for i want to fly free

the majestic lion,
entreats the curious onlooker;
don't hold me prisoner,
for i want to roam free

the repentant criminal,
entreats the cold jailor;
don't hold me prisoner,
for i want to live free

the child in me,
entreats the hypocritical societer;
don't hold me prisoner,
for i want to be free
