I am not the one as I used to be, <br />Dancing and laughing merrily, <br />No matter what the life brings before, <br />It doesn't matter and nothing was a bore. <br /> <br />I have changed now with time, <br />Time has ruined me and broken my spine, <br />I am not able to see in my eyes, <br />Not even the morning sun to rise. <br /> <br />I feel so blue and away from the world, <br />No one to talk or even share a word, <br />I am like a gold leaf whom every one adored, <br />But never tried to know what pain it has gone through. <br /> <br />I am shattered and broken into pieces, <br />As if someone hit me with a bat of base, <br />No one is there to join me again in one, <br />No one is there to hold my hand in this race. <br /> <br />I am aloof from the crowd, <br />Standing away and watching all, <br />May seasons have passed by now, <br />From the summer, winter and now fall.<br /><br />Jyoti Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-not-the-one-i-was-once/
