Instinctive Freedom

Do I need to break free from this nook I care?
Where the care and love of my mother prevail
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear

In time I shrieked into a craddle in tear
The spacious world during which I care and hail
Do I need to break free from this nook I care?

For freedom I crawled from the craddle I care
On to the wondrous world of life like a snail
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear

Bounded in a homestead so great as a fair
Till longing to free started pulling my tail
Do I need to break free from this nook I care?

Striding from my house to the world in despair
In far distant lands I wandered for a trail
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear

How large the boundary that we set and care
Longing for the freedom will raise from your jail 
Do I need to break free from this nook I care?
As fiery mind longing to break loose I swear.

Not an easy form, but; you have used it well to express the woes of leaving home, but; alas, there is no place better than home, nice write Jenish, I liked it . . .

Containment does only exist in our minds, well done Jewish...

I hear your quest... left the nook myself quite early, was very adventurous,...and now? --- There's no place like home. Everyone's perspective different,...and often changing over the years. Enjoyed reflecting on this poem, Jenish! Cheers, Gershon

Thank you Gershon for your great perception.. Whenever one became conscious about the boundary, the longing to break free is instinctive.. If you are contained now, it means you are satisfied at present with the big cubicle in which you are living.. Great day my friend..
