The Agony Of Success Poem by sreelekha premjit
The Agony Of Success
he rushed to me
to share his joy
his new found achievement
glowing eyes,
pride-coated
confessed with gay abandon
the elation of success
the pains unlimited
the adulation received
endless his talk
painful for me to endure
my eyes twinged with jealousy
how could i tell him
what pinched me
is his success
the fact that i had no share in it
the pain of standing aloof
time shall tell him
i am no fiend
just an unhappy friend
But yes, congrats
keep it up.
is it jealousy of someone elses success? or is it sorro that success away a friend? ! I liek how you've left the interpretation upto the reader!
