STARDOM AND ILLUSION



STARDOM AND ILLUSION

Yesterday I was drugged with stardom,
I was illusioned with fake evaluations
And I had forgotten my freedom;
World saw me with varied beauty,
That unremembered me my duty;
With so much light and focus,
It was hard to identify dusk and dogus;
To me it was like flying dreams,
Far away from my originality and streams;
I was on cloud nine,
Tranquilized with unlimited joy and shine;
My star was dominating,
With countless claps and cheers shouting;

With my happiness limitlessly growing tall,
One day it had to fall;
The evening arrived soon and scary,
Taking a away all fancy and fairy;
The hands which were tapping my shoulder,
Now have become the evil and traitor;
My place was grabbed by someone else !!
This had become difficult to face;
Those illusionary days are gone,
Time has come to cry and mourn;
Still there is lot much to bear,
The night is yet to bring more fear;
I had never seen a night even in dreams,
But had heard that it carries a lot of screams;

Then finally came a black night,
I expected turbulence and tied myself tight;
To my horror there was a dead calm,
I was ready for a severe bam;
After this I realized night had more peace than the day,
Away from unnecessary and flattery portray;
The darkness allowed me to see millions stars twinkling,
I was star-struck sitting under a universe smiling;
Alas! Stardom was too bright to blind me,
I was lost and the night could only find me;
The day showed me only one star,
But utter darkness has revealed a galaxy afar;
I learnt that future always brings good,
But we have to keep ourselves unhood;
In darkness only we can see a small ray of hope,
That will bring back huge beauty and scope;
We should be full of optimism and buoyancy,
Ready to accept life and its transparency;

  3. Illusions are good for mind, sometimes. But most of the times they snatch away the facts that run our lives.
