Here’s to My 20s
The Years That Have Made Me Question...
For as long as I can remember
I imagined my twenties to be my success years.
Full of abundant joy.
Financially stable.
Living my American dream.
I’m far beyond a dream.
My twenties have made me question
Whether a college degree is worth it
Or if following my dreams is foolish.
Constantly hearing the words
Unqualified, young, adult.
Fighting to be heard
Over all the noise.
The self doubt that’s screams within me
Will I ever be enough?
Insecure about how I look
Comparison is my biggest enemy.
So to my twenties I say,
Breathe, it’s going to be okay.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
