Young, handsome, energetic, an enthusiast
Logically, choosing a job offer amongst many
Considering his interests and future
With support of his loved and dear ones
He is his family’s pride.
At his 24th year, deciding
about a right partner
With advices of his beloved family
Religiously following their wishes
Took responsibility of renovation of the house
To welcome his love of life, his life partner with all the necessities needed.
Balancing life, career and new found
love
Fulfilling his responsibilities with passion
Meeting emotional expectations of all his dear ones
Crystal clear about his dreams for the future
The enthusiasm doubling, phew, time flew.
Prioritizing the dreams of his spouse
The challenges of living apart, he endured
Striving and thriving in his demanding career
Overcoming the emotional urges, with his impeccable attitude
He became an unsolicited support system.
And then, being a father of three
Along with climbing his career ladder
His earnest attempt to compensate the family time
He turned out to be an over-giving parent
Earnestly trying his best attempts.
But now at 54, his life seems to
come to a standstill
Dullness and negativity, self-doubts, confusions
All seeping in slowly, one by one, on turns
Disconnection from his own self, pushing him into despair
Reasons, he himself cannot comprehend.
Being his life partner, married for
30 years
Understanding him thoroughly
With his diminishing occasional cheerful conversations
Is it work stress or mental exhaustion, I try to figure out
But all I get is, his denial for all my opinions.
Insecurity, stress, anxiety, nervousness,
engulfing me though
I am in a denial to accept his decline
Being a firm believer of nothing is impossible
I continue to challenge the challenges, no matter what comes my way
Facing head on the phases, after all this is life and such is life!
