Literature Text

A quarter of a century
Two and a half decade
Where should I be?
Is this the beckon of my destiny

Too young to settle down
too old to clown around
Where should I go in this day and age?
What should I write on my life's page?

It not that I am confused
I just don't want to be used
Through any kind of string
Enticed by some sort of offering

With lover's ring looming on
just a few year's and the bachelor is gone
But here I am some what contemplating
Is this what I'm really yearning?

To the sound of money and spending
With much bill that are unending
Financial freedom is what I sought
Where my earning is greater than what I bought

And what about the dreams that are long well forgotten
Have I traveled enough that I have fallen?
Into cynicism and into hopelessness
over all giving into all the sadness

But I despair not with a beating heart
surely there's still away to regain my spark
the only that keeping me warm at night
beside from providing a guiding light

That there is still a possibility
To reach my dreams and be happy
and thought I already passed a quarter of a century
I can still choose to live my life as I want it to be
Writer's Note: Something for my 25th birthday. I know its long over due
