Web of power

Trapped in a spider's web

Thick sticky threads

Wrapped around my arms

Wrapped around my legs

Making my vision blurred

Making my breath shallow

My tears cannot dissolve it

My teeth cannot cut it

Stuck in one place, still!

Your position gave you power

To make me helpless

To knit a web I can't escape

The same position gave you power

To let others step on my head

And move further and further ahead

While you pushed me further down

To get tangled deep in your web

To get lost in its darkness

You knew I could run fast

Faster than anyone else

And leave anyone behind

Only if your dirty game of politics

Didn't make me paralyzed.

Position is the only power you have

And it's the only power I lack

But sadly, its a big power you own

Bigger than any talent I own

But you can only hold my limbs

Not my brain, not my thoughts

I am a fighter I won't give up

I will keep fighting

Till I break free and fly

Way ahead of you and your puppets

And it will be a sight you will hate

But in your heart you will know

This is what i always deserved but you denied
