Alive

By Prashansika Srivastava

Everyone has the right to live their life
On their own terms,
They may or may not take any turns.

No one’s life should be confined,
So let me remind—
Individuality is a state of mind:
A free mind.

Let me be who I am,
Let me be free from my mind.

I need some space,
I need some time.
Let me hold my own view—
Because I am alive, too.
