Cage

What a humongous cage we all reside in!
I am ascertain of the fact that once, you all must have been.
It's composed of minor cages,
For confiding in these, you are not paid wages.

NO! It has no physically distinguishable boundaries!
Nor it has visible, marked territories!

It's all made up in one's mind.
And if you fail to imagine this cage, you will be considered blind.

There is no escaping this cage,
Willingly or unwillingly, you have to abide by the unwritten rules.

Try bending some rules, and you will find yourself losing relationships.
Try playing by the rules, and you will find yourself winning over Life's ship.

Expectations badgered at You!
Elude this cage, you will have friends, family, colleagues cursing you.

The hunger to achieve laurels, to gain fame,
 Break free from this cage by failing to put in hard work, End of The Game.

You need to have high values, ideal morals,
Escape this cage, and you will find yourself with the wrong side of mortals.

Greet everyone, meet everyone, be nice to all,
Evade this cage and you will be quarantined, made to fall.

Anti Social! Evil! Shirker! Disappointing.
Many more labels, many other cages, for even just questioning.

What a humongous cage of THOUGHTS we live in.
