TwentiesA 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 © 2018 송지석 / Ji-SukReviews
