A Colourful Bird

Eimaan Bhinder

Salford

I am a colourful bird, I love colours, colours of love, colours of flowers, colours of fruit and the colours of personal freedom. My nature is freedom BUT, I was trapped in a cage, a colourful cage of freedom, freedom of thoughts, freedom of choice, and personal freedom, but I only found detention, detention forever, detention of my soul, detention of my body. Where is freedom, is it freedom, a colourful cage of fake freedom
