21.

its been a long day

actually

its been a long 20 years

lend me your ears

for i have a story to tell

excuse me if i yell

at 10 i thought life would be easier at 20

i would have answered all the mysteries

deciphered past histories

yet i am more confused than ever before

21 is around the corner, at my door

i haven't discovered my purpose, still

i haven't found that special will

i have been through so much

i cannot possibly articulate

i cannot define love or hate

i do not know what dictates

my unique tastes

i am thankful

for all

i must clarify

if i could go back in time

and even just change this rhyme

i would not

undo a single knot

i have got myself tied in

for the little i have learned is this my friend

life is like a swing, so spin, carelessly spin

life is like a birds wing, so fly, fly high!

take a moment to hear a cry

or take time to smile, and say hi

for now my life seems like a maze

yet it never fails to amaze

right now i'm caught in a haze

but ten years from now

i will have new ways

twenty years from now

maybe a new craze

a few decades from now

maybe the end of my days

but one thing that will always stay true:

i will never quite understand me, him, her, or you.
