My Days

by Rajlakshmi Pillai

[box]What does a person go through during his or her days of grandeur and gloom? Rajlakshmi Pillai writes a poem.[/box]

On a slight note, let me recall my days of grandeur,

when I was cuddled and put up on a pedestal,

my words were lapped up, meanings found resonance.

The sun and flowers were the same, brighter though,

And so were smiles and cheers.

I did float for the period, for, my feet found no worthy ground.

Why then, why did the downhill have to be so quick and cruel?

On a slight note, let me recall my days of gloom,

when I was ignored and pushed aside,

my cries were unheard, my laments ignored.

The sun and flowers were the same but lacked shine,

and there were the frowns and curses.

I did float for the period, for, no ground found my feet worthy.

Why then, why did the downhill have to be so quick and cruel?
