“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…
