Inside the Wild Cage – A Poem by Rachana » Rachana Nadella-Somayajula

We spend an insane amount of time being “wild” only in our thoughts. This piece explores what happens when we finally say “ok, fine” to the person holding the key, and trade our inner silence for something much louder.

told you
i can’t get locked into
tight places with you

in my mind’s cage
you’ve got me
captive

why only be wild
on the inside?
you ask

ok.
fine.

show me how you do it
and i’ll show you
how i come undone

let’s make loud noises
let the mirror catch
our animal side

let’s walk
the edge of savage
and the divine

we can’t
let each other sleep
not tonight
or any night

now…

open that door.
let the world
taste our wild.

Hi, I’m Rachana. Its been my dream for years to do something to consciously create a better future where every one of us is excited about our own potential. My challenge to everyone is that they aspire for their personal best and leave a legacy of their work through their contributions to mankind.

One more thing. In December of 2044, I hope to win the Nobel.

Will you join me on this journey of growth and transformation?
Namasté.
