"Things take time, 
But time takes things"



*

*When I was a child

I always wanted to grow up fast

But now, feels like I'm in the wild

Lost in the world so vast



Growing old, adding numbers to my life

Afraid to be an adult and it's strife

They say age brings wisdom
But I~ just getting dumb



I am moving

Yet I go nowhere

I do not know if I'm improving

Or if I'm off to somewhere



Turning 22 isn't a big deal

But why does it terrifies me?
The idea of life getting more real

Transition to adulthood I can not see



Maybe I'm not yet ready
 of a bigger world and responsibilities

Because my feet aren't always steady
 and unsure of my abilities


I was not innocent
 and definitely not immature
But I always face an awkward predicament

Because my life, is constantly unsure



Yes, 22 is not young, but not too old enough

to have a clear mind and smart tongue

So I just have to shrug this feeling of rough

And enjoy the feeling of young



Age and time, we could not defy

So as life and its formula

Running out of time, is a big lie

And age is nothing but a numeral



Age and time, definitely
Does not define maturity, nor brings wisdom
And I couldn't tell much, technically

Because, as I've said, I still lack in wisdom
So yeah I turned 22 today. Happy Birthday to me. I wrote this after my graduation day, and up to now, now that I am 22, I still feel the same way.
