I Want To Be! Poem by Anjali Ramanna

First five I lived... I did not even know...
Next five.. one more five... five more.. I lived...
Why? For whom? Oh, I was not bothered...
Two more five... I lived...
Assumed for thy and them...
I am one in the midst of thou...
Now those five have become six and seven... yet I am living...
But why? ... only one answer...lone!

I search and I wander...
It’s a friction of plays and games...
Add a five…upon a five...
But now should I not live? Should I not be?
Hence year after year...
I want to remain as I... it’s the slogan.. .
For neo pleasure...
‘I also want to live’ is the resolution!
