Rise... – Delhi Poetry Slam

Rise...

By Latha Ramakrishnan

Rise? Like the sun? To Light up the world...
Or the serpent? Proud and ready to kill..
Or still like the seed? To rise and kiss the sky??

The fallen me! Oh me!
Can I rise above the tribulations..
Or lie still and be trampled..

Do I have to choose to be the sun, serpent or the seed?
Or be just me and dare to rise..
Like non other, just me, only me!!
