I see how fast the days are passing by,
as there’s so much that’s been on my mind,
soon I’ll be sixteen, eighteen, then twenty,
with a mind so clueless of where to be.
I may be just fourteen,
but it really concerns me,
everyone asks how I’ll be,
in my upcoming twenties.
I’ll have to be educated,
find a job that suits me,
one that also pays off well,
then a happy healthy family.
“Keep your eyes wide open
for a bright future ahead,
do not disappoint us”,
my parents said.
I’ve been questioned so many times
that I am now so worried,
soon I’ll be sixteen, eighteen, then twenty,
with a mind so clueless of where to be.
