Poem: Polar Opposites

I.

My life's big challenge
married to an introvert
so much compromise.

II.

Evenings spent alone
he unwinds watching programs
on his computer.


III.

No get-togethers
no casual friends at all
except from his work



IV.

He just sets the tone
content to be by himself
ignores everything


V.

I do things for me
and deal with his jealousy
but he does nothing.


VI.

He's not comfortable
I respect his preference.
But I am not him.
