The Road to Nowhere

Back on the road

To reach destinations

Every day 

a different place and different room

But only constant is

Me hopping between places and hotels

Days dies away in the work

Nights whiles away in sleepless travels

Days becomes weeks, 

Weeks becomes months,

Months becomes years.

All this takes a toll on health

Sleepy eyes, zombie walks

Painful body and restless mind

But the worst hit is family

The relationships taken for granted

The daughter misses her play time 

She is frustrated, her father is always away

When he is with her, he only has excuses

The wife 

Juggling between demands of the job

And needs of the household

She too needs downtime

But too many needs and

Unavailable me makes her bursting at the seam

When im there,

Even simple pleasures like going out

has become a planned activity

Living like this all because

We want to make a better future for us

Fogetting

Whether there will be better us in future
