Life really does begin at 40

25 years of expectation, followed 13 silences
1 big bang before I begin to bloom again
Always sincere, always excitable
I was an exuberant young boy, bogged down by bipolarity

I didn't think it would last this long
The end of days; long nights
To awaken to a fresh perspective
A renewed revival of my self worth

I'm looking forward to turning 40
I can't wait to be a passe millennial
All those young guns will be firing
While I will watch - quietly from the sidelines

I might have my limitations
I might even be closer to the finish line than I know
But I will not go silently into the shadows
2027 will be the year Bharat turns 80, and I begin to shine
