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…

Crossroads

Yet again she found herself struggling to keep fighting.
She stood still at the crossroads, breathing in and sighing…
“Do I see the point in this? Do I keep on going?
Do I stop chasing this dream? Do I keep on hoping?”

More and more she found herself weaker and just wanting
To cease all that she had tried, throw a pity party
For herself and only so. No one seemed to care for
That one dream she hoped to achieve which had made her world-weary.

“Is it worth it? I don’t know… I’m so lost and tired…
And if not, what do I do? This is what I desired…”
Pondering upon the way which would give her meaning,
She decides so: “One more time, I will keep on dreaming…”
