Aging
TIME IS UP.
My dream of childhood soared high
to grow older quick
not to be dominated by seniors.
At last desired adulthood opened door of cage
at proper age.
Released from parental care.
Enjoyed independent life in flare.
Success to access on happiness.
Despondence and failure, also to endure.
Ups and Downs, Smiles and Frowns
on journey of life.
Didn’t care about ruthless time
reaching me to seniority.
Busy life, crazy ideas, immense work- load
made a sudden stop, a shock to accept.
Inevitable physical limitations
caught me again to be captivated and confined in cage.
Youthful energetic mind could not cope up
with decaying physique.
It’s hard to admit: MY TIME IS UP.
