In My 20s

“I’m in my 20s and I don’t know
What I am doing with my life!”
I cry out in the endless storm,
As boisterous winds silence my cries.

I’m at a crossroads. Endless paths
Await ahead, to my left and right,
I can’t go back to how it was,
I need to choose. Time’s running out.

Others have long ago surpassed
Me, who awaits here, still confused,
Still undecided. Future, past
And present. What will I pursue…?

I must decide on who I am,
And find my own place in this world…
I’m scared of what awaits ahead,
Of the uncertainty of it all…

I wait and wait, the hourglass
Keeps pouring sand and never stops.
These years will pass and so will I…
The clock is ticking… My 20s… Only once…

My journey to finding myself began with music, continued with poetry and keeps going with these two blending harmoniously. View all posts by dacapoalpoetry
