Existential Crisis #2349

8.33% - how far through
and what has happened?
sleep all day and work all night
wake up sore just as the light
leaves the room and back to the moon
blast to the past that's no way to live
so i live in the now, live each second
but worry about the Delorean
back to the future- here we go
five years from today
what will i show
well college debt of course
a 9 to 5?
well hopefully a 7 to 3
a nice account, maybe a puppy
but no!! stop thinking
back to today
homework, work, sleep *maybe
get to class walk back home
don't break a leg
or another bone
worrying about getting old
and having nothing to show
but what about yesterday
back mistakes, uh-oh grades,
too much freedom and then fun fades
learning to swim and
forgetting to breathe
sink to the bottom trying to feed
kick up hard not quite to the top
swim up. swim up. enough to float
keeping it going day by day
seeking a raft any lifeboat
daily struggles no clue what to do
what's an adult?
i haven't a clue.
