Rethinking Things

When you can’t wait to retire and deem death your only true ally, When children get on your nerves and you rush through the family dinner to be left alone, When a sermon tries your patience and a speech makes you restive, When you keep hankering after the days of yore and find solace in the dusk of the day, When you are obsessed by the thoughts of just going away somewhere and getting lost, When the closeness of the closest ones get too close for comfort, When you find there’s nothing left to prove anything to anyone, When no joke tickles your funny bone And you fret no more over a bad hair day, When you forget to zip your pants and just shrug off when pointed – May be it’s time to dog-ear the page of your life and close the book! ~"Introspective" contest by Lewis Raynes.
