Ode To Twenties!

By Esha Mahendra

In dawn of a new decade,

No more a teen with small steps in adulthood.

Surviving the university grade,

and fantasizing the unlikelihood.

Lots of fellows with close knits,

Yet live through by oneself.

Having fun even in titbits,

ready to face life ourself.

Anxious for coming times.

yet so lively and easy-going.

Mostly off your hands aligns,

thinking, paging and reviving.

Back and forth in action,

reach bottomline to the peak.

Looking for new interaction,

being in two minds for help to seek.

loving the new ongoing streak,

on contrary, wishing it to be still.

The quarter-life-crisis to speak,

mostly in the midst of chill.

Over episodes of sad, tired and ill,

a cultured human sustains.

Achievements become ladder with thrill,

Making up mind in rains.

The adventures, the heartaches,

the failures, the success .

Miles to go whatsoever overtakes,

Gunshot of Decade here to bless.
