Why people all the time need praise? <br />Is it inherent which makes their head to raise? <br />Does that step seem to be wise? <br />Who has it all for surprise? <br /> <br />Not affecting me as an individual, <br />For pretenders who use the life dual, <br />Try to project wise and create visual, <br />In reality, they lead life very casual, <br /> <br />I am, sometimes, very deeply hurt, <br />Not by their intelligence but reply curt, <br />I was visibly moved and felt embraced, <br />My respect and words completely silenced <br /> <br />At any given time poet’s get fame, <br />Without HIS grace they were lame, <br />Someone may succeed and some fail in game, <br />It may be destiny so as not to blame, <br /> <br />I being novice tried at poetry, <br />Made hard way to gain entry, <br />Found long queues guarded by sentry, <br />Some found success others felt jittery, <br /> <br />I pushed my way and got some hold, <br />Response from seniors was very cold, <br />Think them all as if descended from heaven <br />Not matching caliber and find uneven, <br /> <br />I felt hurt at compliment “very: sad” <br />Colleague was hurt at rated not high, <br />YOU KNOW it has place among 500, <br />May be that went down with my rating, <br /> <br />Does the pride do us any harm? <br />Prevent us to look kind and warm, <br />Does this enhance any prestige or charm? <br />With equal treatment and same care, <br />Do you take more yields from a house farm?<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-was-deeply-hurt/
