Wish I remained as
caterpillar, because at
times beauty is bane!
εїз
What are my wings for
when my freedom is broken?
Trapped butterfly sobs
εїз
Lock beauty with eyes,
hurt not by grasping with hands;
Love wounds not freedom
A cage is still a cage, even if it is made of gold - Unknown

The 2nd one is my favorite ... pain and loss illustrated poignantly !!!
It relates very well to the present condition of women in India
Perfect! I can somehow relate it to myself...I have a very atrocious experience of abusive relationship where I was mentally tortured for months, my freedom, space was snitched away..thankfully I m out.BTW love ur potrayal. :) <3
