Let Us See Poem by Prateek Sehgal

Hey!
I am jumping from this cliff.
oh yes, I am.
I am no sad, not depressed.

Oh no, I would not die.
As the cliff ain’t too high.
I just want to try to fly.

Though I hope to break a bone or two.
Only then I would see
that this world is not free.

You see, I was told
I could be anything, I want to be.
I said, I want to be a bird
and fly free.

They laughed
said I am mad.
this world is bound
and that I would fall because of gravity.

Let us see,
If I am wrong,
or this reptile breed.
