Just twenty days away, and it shall arrive
A new milestone to pass, to achieve, to gain
A marker of life, and I’m no longer a teen.
Just twenty days, until that birthday comes
And I’ve yet to recollect or recognize why,
Or what, or how, life’s supposed to change
Besides the fact, I’m no longer a teenager.
For seven years, a person lives in their teens,
Learning, discovering, solidifying who they are,
Their personality, their life, shaping and affirming
Who they are and who they will be, and
Even after that span of years, there is a
Sense of uncertainty, of instability,
And I wonder what have I done for the last
Seven years of my life, only to remember
That those seven years are not my whole life.
And I have many years yet to live, and it begins,
A new stage of life, on every birthday hence.
