Monkey thoughts hold me back
Claws on the food, clenched fist
Cannot move a single inch
Hand deep within narrow bottle
Know I, now I am trapped
Monkey mind unwilling to let go
Claws held by the desire and lust
Hunter’s net I see coming fast
Body moves from end to another
More the force more trapped am I
Suffering filling my body and mind
Fear, anger, frustration all written
Magnanimous was a life given to me
Freedom and energy to soar high
Every single moment was given
Yet became blind slave of desires
Losing the zeal and wings got clipped
Why me why me I keep asking
Why not why not I keep hearing
Past memories past grudges
All hold me back for it is not I
A blow is all I see on the elbow
Claws open up letting the desire go
I am released to be trapped forever
Alas I lost the chance for liberation
