Time To Go Home Poem by Ravi Upadhye

A long day comes to an end
Shadows of the long day still keep haunting me
Threatening to barge into the next day and the next and so on
Till they excruciatingly hurt all along

They set a vicious pattern of intruding into my otherwise bright days
Emboldened and encouraged by my tolerance and patient silence to
allow them to poke my privacy

A time has come to alienate myself
From this rude intrusion
And look at my days with the innocence of a newborn child!
I owe it to myself and to my oft neglected ingenuity
I need to catch up for I have lost precious moments inadvertantly
