Still Alive I am sitting beside myself And I hear the people cry Some say that I am dead And some say that I am no more in this world I try to dry their tears, And want to convince them But no one sees me Nor anyone hears my call I see my body lying still And the relatives preparing for my funeral My little son and daughter are crying out 'Father Father, why don't you reply?' My sweet wife has become a statue She neither cries nor speaks anything Just stares out to the dead body of mine My body is being carried out The environment has become sorrowful Everyone is drown in the depth of the grief Everyone crying out for me I am restless, I can do nothing I can watch them and hear their call But why can't they of mine Now I am totally broken I can't touch anyone, I can't make them smile My body needs rest so I have left it I am not gone anywhere I am here around My body is being kept on the cemetery And all are praying for me, To rest peace in the heaven I am hopeless, I can't cry My body is dead But I am still alive…in your hearts and your memories… See around yourself you will find me … By :- Shristika Shrestha
