Success and Illusion

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 5, 2024

By Neha Kundarap



He has earned a name.

He has earned some fame.

He made a lot of money.

He is successful finally.


But broken as a shattered glass,

He has lost his peace and calm.

He has no time to take a breather

Is his success just a false alarm?


He still seems unhappy.

He still has a dark side.

He did rush to make it to the top.

But does anyone know why he cried?


In deep thoughts, 

he was standing at the window.

He saw a little one, 

give mom a warm hug.

The smiles and their unconditional love,

made him realize it's time to pull the plug.


He vowed to self, to set priorities right.

To chase simple joys and to find his light.

He leaps out of the storm with a blurry sight.

Now simply doing nothing gives him unknown delight.


It's time to close the book of success stories.

He now focuses on making memories. 

He often paints, travels and unwinds from his mission.

He now knows that money is valuable but success is an illusion.
