The Roaring 20s
They never tell us
what wild freedom when moving out of home
means
they never tell us
how the 20s are the golden age
the age to become an adult
while keeping your inner beast
a beast craving to live
to dance
to explore
and exploit
our body, souls, mind, pleasure
they never tell us
how chaotic the 20s are
how it becomes dreadful to keep our stability
to keep our sanity
to keep a balance
they never tell us
the 20s are the moment to suffer from love
to have sex the entire night
to pull all-nighers from our never ending educational system
to cry of frustration feeling dissapointed
of the people we thought were
friends
they never tell us
the 20s are the moment to suffer from the realities of our world
to view truths we´ve never seen
to become informed
to form an opinion
Is it the world that gets worse, or is it our mind becoming more informed?
I wonder…
the 20s.
My 20s are just starting
they started as a foreigner
in new lands
new cultures
immersed in new thoughts
I have been reborn in my 20s
I have struggled
failed
hurt
lost myself
re-found myself
experienced toxicity
exhaustion
and yet
I am spiritually awakened
in between adulthood and wilderness
I feel more wild than ever
grounded
ready to thrive
what do your 20s mean (t)
to you?
