Days After-32 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

And after

DAYS AFTER-32

I want to smile
Can anyone snatch it from me?
I want to live
Can anyone force me to die?

I create my moments
Live it the way I relish
Can anyone restrain me
From having it
I am with me
Can anyone deprive me of
My companionship

I live in my dreams
Which is more colourful and fascinating
Than other's reality
Can anyone stop me from dreaming
And have a go at all that I love and fancy

I am happy
The reason for my happiness is me
I am the cause of my joy and bliss
Cheer and smile
Can anyone make me unhappy
Be the reason for my tears and grief?

I do not intend to spoil
Anyone's mirth and glee
Hope! none will come
In between me and my smile
When I am with me
Can anyone stop me
From being myself
And becoming what I want to be.
