Don’t look so downcast <br />Nothing ever lasts. <br /> <br />Don’t you see? <br />I am always <br />At the receiving end, <br />That doesn’t stop me <br />From doing the work <br />I have been assigned. <br /> <br />People feel ambivalent <br />Towards me, <br />They love to hate me <br />When too cold, they feel malevolent. <br />Some suffer fromS.A.D, <br />They pray for me to rise <br />So that they can feel warm and gay. <br /> <br />But in summer, <br />When it gets too hot, <br />They get distraught <br />And annoyed. <br />How would I ripen <br />The fruits they so enjoy? <br /> <br />When the clouds cover me, <br />And it non stop pours, <br />They say I am a spoil sport, <br />As it becomes humid <br />And the clothes won’t dry. <br /> <br />Human nature is fickle, <br />So don’t buckle, <br />Because they change colours <br />Faster than a chameleon. <br />You can’t gain everyone’s <br />Approval, <br />One day they put you on <br />A pedestal, <br /> <br />And next pull <br />You down in disgust. <br />Isn’t this is what <br />They did to Christ? <br /> <br />So keep your focus and just <br />Remain steadfast <br />Like me, <br />And set your creativity free.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sun-29/
