I’m already in my mid-20s
but I’m still lost and confused.
I’m already in my mid-20s
but I still don’t know what to do.

I’ve always been bothered by being ‘left behind’.
I’ve always been in a rush to keep up,
perhaps that’s why I’ve felt so confined.
Chasing deadlines I unknowingly set for myself.

I understand the logic,
yet it won’t just sink in.

But I finally realized,
It’s not that I’m already⏤
but I’m still in my mid-20s!

It’s okay to step back, pause, and to rest,
For sometimes, in stillness, we find what’s best.

Maybe, just maybe, a new path will appear,
To explore the unknown, to face every fear.
I’ll walk the path where uncertainty lies,
where undiscovered options might arise

I hope it’s not too late,
to heed the whispers that shaped my current fate.

I’m learning, at last, to rest and to embrace⏤
the importance of taking life at my own pace.
It’s hard to let go of familiar chains,
But this is the way to let go of the pain.

For now what matters is,
I finally came to terms,
that I am not lost,
I am still planting seeds.
