Let me be ME

I lie on the bed staring at the fan,

Thinking of what is in store for me.

Getting a glimpse of the future,

I see people surrounding me.

Don’t know whether it just the crowd around me,

Or it is my fortune playing games.

I can’t see anything clear

Except myself burning in flames.

They say “you don’t care”, “you aren’t worth”

But forgot, a while ago, I too was a free bird.

Shouting and screaming for life,

Is what I’m left with now.

For god’s been kind enough to

Let me live now.

Some say life is about living,

Some say it’s for dying,

But I say its living after dying.

So what if I’m dead now

Living after dying is what I’m waiting for.

They’ve said what they felt was right for me

But all I have to say is that “just let me be ME”.
