A year has passed you by now. You catch yourself staring in the mirror saying I'm 25? How?
I was just a kid not so long ago. Brought into a world that I still find cold.
Theres been a lot of changes to the person inside of you existing today. New lessons learned and a bunch of mistakes have been made.
are you proud of this woman you claim today? What a shame that 25 years has just wasted away.
A few weeks from now you'll be 26. A year later with the same shit I've been struggling to fix.
And to add into the mix, more pain and heartaches, and a years worth of paying for the bad decisions you did.
But still here you are, despite your choices, loyal at heart. The beautiful soul inside you that stayed from the start.
Being true is every part of you. You're just stuck at a crossroads not knowing which path to choose.
It is a hard choice when you question "How much more can I loose?"
When you've already lost so much, getting lost yourself seems like the perfect answer. Seeing life like music and your lost soul being the dancer.
Dancing away lost in her ways, just going through the motions too pass up the days.
Another year fades away, and you'll still find her soul dancing as the music continues to play.
Whats growing up but merely an age, one day I may figure it out but for now I'll take center stage.

- Comment from author about the poem: I'll be 26 this year, actually in 9 day and no I don't have much more of life's questions answered for me. But it's okay to grow up and still be free.

Fantastic self reflection, truly know ourselves is a timeless task to know.
Just carry on being true to every part of you, we live, learn and figure it out.
Yes life is its on process
I like how you describe the struggles of growing as a person, I can relate quite a bit. It's hard to find yourself sometimes but you will.
Aloha Megz, welcome to the site.
No matter how old, we are all survivors! Hindsight is 20/20, so look forward to what can be, instead of backward and what was.
Yep, center stage is where every one of us lead our lives from even when we are stuck at the crossroads not knowing which path to choose like you. Don't look back, you're a big girl now and you've learned from all that stuff behind you. The world's you oyster. It's yours, go out and get it! Oh, and write about it for us please.
Thanks all for the comments and I hope you enjoyed much love
WELCOME MEGAN ~ Thanks for your first Poem ~ which we all enjoyed. I'm 33 and still single (I do have a Lady Friend !) but (like you) I'm still growing up and YES there is still life after 30. Your poem teaches us that what we do gain Year on Year is the Agony and Ecstasy of EXPERIENCE ! In my experience it is that that enables me to survive and make the most of the next year. I still love BIRTHDAYS and always have great expectations ! Happy Birthday and every Blessing for 24 July ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
