I have enjoyed only breathing at last

 

I've borne the joy of life since I was born.
 I've sucked my mother, squeezed my father,
Exploited the neighbors, the country 
And the world as far as I could further.
I've borne joy of life by deceiving friends 
And cajoling foes.
I dived into the sea deepest to gather pearls,
And flew up into the blue to pluck the stars.
I 've withstood the joyous burden only to see you envious.

Bouyant have I been so far,but what blakens the sky?
Fright,like a huge bat,coming from nowhere, devours all low and high.
Here lies my friend, there cries my enemy.
Blurred, blurred seems all, light burns dimmer,
The known look unknown and the near goes far.
Frazzled l've fled, leaving the bunfight,throwing my sackful of joy,
Only to breathe in the naked air, throwing out my 'pleasure-troy'.

troy=(troy weight),a system of weight,used for precious metals and gems...
