24

In thirty minutes,

I am 24

Every year, I was surrounded by friends and family

This year,

I am alone in this midnight

I am blank as I am realizing this life has not been started

Age is just number

There are so many dreams I haven't achieved

There are so many sunsets I haven't seen

I am just beginning to discover

What the hell I am supposed to do

And how to learn patience

In solitude and catching breaths to breathe

Knowledge comes not with age or maturity, but the ability to tell the difference.

Introspective piece. The sunset line shines brightly today.?
