Trapped within me

Pastel on paper, 12” X 9”

What Sujata had in mind when she painted

From inside I want to jump leap and fly. I need to dance the night away to feel myself. But my body is so heavy; it is as if it has turned to stone. I feel so constrained that I want to free myself from this body. I want to float high up in the sky like a feather and look down on what is happening below me. I want to dance like a lone leaf in the wind, twirling and flying all by turn. I want to become a fish and dance in water with my tail following. I hope my wish comes true one day!!
