Twenties

Twenties

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk

I don't want to look young 
so I keep changing my clothes for no reason
I only want to be mature
So I watch the news to look more grownup 

My eyes went from sneakers to dress shoes
Days that used to feel long now feel so short
As soon as the bell rang for break time
I used to run to the cafeteria 
But now, my footsteps are nervous and shaky

When I finally get my ID card
It’ll be hard to hide my joy
All the times I acted like I couldn’t act like a kid
Pretending I had no flaws in my youth
As if I’m crooked yet straight
Acting like I’m busy even though I have time
Only my arrogance grew
My late twenties are at the doorstep 
I wanna live my age, naturally

It was nice when I acted like an adult
But I don’t wanna change, even if they say I’m immature
Even if I’m bad at it, I like the word, beginning
It’s foolish but I’m still young
It’s hard to become an adult now
I’m afraid that the day I become an adult will come
The day I become an adult

I used to be a regular at the stationery store
But now I’m headed towards Garosugil
Rather than stopping at turning my eyes to nice things
There’s poison in my eyes now
Acting like an adult, like I’m all grown up, it's all a big act
Like I know what everything means
But now that the time is actually near, I don’t know what to do

When the new semester started and I gathered all my books
I used to think it’s too heavy
And put it down in front of the classroom
Now that I’m an adult
Responsibilities are even heavier
I’m not ready, only filled with worries

Ah..I can understand the way you feel..You must feel how many responsibilities are there for you and you still feel that you act like a child rather than a grown up..I guess i will also feel the same way when I reach your age...I hope that you will do well in your life and handle all your responsibilities well...In fact , I am pretty sure that my dear friend will do it well...Good luck to you...

Thank you! It’s hard being an adult!
it is the best age to reflect and look forward to what to do with life especially now that you are a dad

The grass is always seen greener at the outer side of fence...just like we wanna grow up soon and be called matured...but never know how miserably the heaviness of responsibilities can be..
May you handle that with more care than you'd thought...good luck to mature Ji Suk!👍
