Twenties, best time of your life they said.
Twenties, young, wild, and free they claimed.
No money, no answers, no time
But twenties! It’s all fun!
No direction, no certainty, no love
But twenties! It is fine!
Make sure to study, to go out, to make friends,
But ensure that your time is well spent.
Hit the gym once or twice,
And give your driver’s licence a try.
But by the way, when’s graduation? It’s about time!
And did you meet someone? We want grandchildren some time!
But focus on your career, it is important.
Independency is good, but loneliness is unpleasant.
What an oxymoron to my ear
We’re supposed to be energetic,
but we’re just tired every day of the year.
Be happy, ambitious, enthusiastic.
Climb mountains, swim oceans, travel the word.
Little did they know that pressure is a shark.
And us little fishes drowning in the ride.
We’ll eventually find our path in due time.
And make the twenties a state of mind.
We’ll figure it out, I’m sure.
We just need to hold on, be brave, and endure.
Take risks and make mistakes.
And do it on our own time frame.
And maybe one day, we’ll say.
That twenties were the best time anyway.
