What Am I? old poem

What Am I?

Rejoicing a life of illusion,
I thought myself to be something;
One who was different, great,
I was to myself in this living.

Bound for highest highs,
Despite all the lowering lows;
An enchanting personage,
Meant for honour and bows.

But so long only can last,
A life of self deceit and aggrandisement;
Taking away my rosy glasses,
Truth endows me with disappointment.

Life once made me proud,
With all its believed greatness and gaiety;
Comes to me as worthless,
For me I now feel, not sorrow but pity.
