"Last Wish", a poem penned by K. Pranathi, from BSc MSDS, III year.

I was born alone,

And I walk this road alone.

One day, when my journey ends,

I wish to leave alone.

No tears upon my farewell,

No sorrow in my name.

When I am gone,

Let the world remain the same.

What must I do for that?

Fade like I never existed?

Become a passing whisper

Lost within the wind?

Yet before that final day,

I want to live completely free—

To wander like the restless breeze,

To dance across the sea.

To laugh like water splashing,

To chase the open sky,

To carry no regrets at all

When it's my time to die.

And when death stands before me,

Quiet and serene,

What must I do to greet it

With a heart forever clean?

Perhaps the answer is simple—

Neither fame nor company;

To cherish every fleeting moment,

And love my solitude faithfully.
