Shadows of the Sunlight

I ran hard to catch a train
to find all my effort in vain
a feeling of being rejected
as always and yet again
I was on my way to work
and I had forgotten to wear shoes
It made me worry about my outlook
which seemed so casual and loose
I walked slowly with my heavy bag
my shoulders in a little pain
I went to the other platform
to try my luck again.
I boarded a slow train
Got a lonely window seat
Shadows of the sunlight
to take away the heat
