The stage had been set before my time

I’ve been reading scripts learning to act

Theology, psychology etc, it’s hard to play

Never could I master, but learn the little

 

I caught losses trying to win, still trying

Shit switches plans to ‘could have done’

But I guess more losses more lessons

A value maturity has taught me to love

 

Being young was tough, now it’s harsh

Years going so fast to teach me about life

Finish school, get a job and build a home

In the end, it’s all merely ways of living

 

Had little or no choice on places I’ve been

When handed one, cons weigh out the pros

Bigger ages prized me with more resilience

Trait worth of gold yielding of experiences

 

With every age I bagged wisdom, hence 26

I learned to self-reward when feeling low

I live to cherish days of the past and future

Today, I gracefully cheer to the age of 27
