With each
Passing year
We're expected
To have
Our lives
Figured out

But at
The same
Time
We're given
Mixed messages
"Live
          every
                     day
                             as
                                  if
                                      it's
                                            your
                                                     last"
                     Along with
"Save
          and
                 plan
                          for
                                the
                                      future"

I don't know
About you
But my life
Is a shambles

I've reached
The ripe young
Age of twenty
Which is only
A quarter
Of my life
If I am
Safe and healthy

So why?
Why must I
Feel guilty?
I've only just
Lost my
Training wheels

How could
I be
Expected
To have
A structured
Life?
