I was like a sun shining at my brightest,
I got praised just for my presence,
I always added good vibes as an essence,
I myself enlightened them at my best !

Even though I was shining for them,
They never realized I was burning myself to shine,
I might had given enormous light for them,
But myself was living in total darkness !

Yes, They took my rays, they took my blaze,
And when I was left with nothing, I was just betrayed!
Then I realized, I wasn't loved for my sacrifice,
I was just victimized to their needs !

What to do ? If I need to shine, then I should burn myself,
If I need to enjoy, I should work on myself!
If not me, they may get another one like me,
But my life cannot be compensated by anyone !

So I found, I need not be a burning sun always to glow,
I can be a moon who glows without burning !
Even though not powerful,
But happier and peaceful !!!......

So the moral of the poem is,
Doing something good for our own happiness is better than doing something for public appreciation!
