Thirty years
Born one thousand nine hundred and, ninety-three years ago today.
I am a millenial.
I turn thirty before May.
I must admit, I am in denial.
Where has the time gone?
It feels like just yesterday,
When I was still young.
When I had my twenty first birthday.
How am I so old?
Yet so unprepared,
For the woes of this world.
Neither seen, nor heard.
Dreams not reached.
Living a life not anticipated.
Dreams forsaken and ditched.
Feeling discriminated,
For being a failure.
I did not ask for this!
At heart, I am a creator,
Yet stuck in a career that brings me no bliss.
How did I get here?
My whole life feels like a mistake.
I wish to disappear.
I need a break.
Thirty years.
Three decades.
A million tears.
Time burns faster than flames.
And I am through with it all.
My ******* have sagged.
My twenties are now stuck behind some wall.
I miss the life I could have had.
Born one thousand nine hundred and ninety-three years ago today.
I am a millenial.
I turn thirty before May.
I must admit, I am in denial.
