on feeling behind in life
am i looking at it backwards ?
my peers parade achievements and awards
where i only have words and tales to show
for all the things that have helped me grow
am a doing this life thing too slow ?
in the whirlwind of my twenties
i am learning to embrace uncertainties,
i am learning that progress hides in the shadows
maybe this is how bravery grows
i throw myself in it, wait to see how it all goes
i won't let the media consume me
won't live in the must and what should be
but i am only human after all
when i stand too tall i tend to fall
when i stoop too low i tend to not move at all
but somewhere in between there is a place
not too vulnerable, not too safe
where i blossom until i'm in full bloom
a place between the stars and the moon
maybe you'll come join me soon
