TWENTY TOMORROW.

 I am nineteen today,

Twenty tomorrow.

Yet there's no place for me

In this world of joy and sorrow

The numbers keep on changing 

Leaving me with all the memories clinging

Yesterday's plan for today

Doesn't get an execution

As I stand astray

Everything's in motion

Don't know where I'm going 

Am I still or still walking

Trapped in this crate of pleasures

Forgetting the world's real treasures

I won't say there are grey clouds 

But neither is the sky clear

There ain't any brazen wounds

But still I have nothing bound

There's no room for faults 

Time leaps as if it summersaults

Still waiting for the cosmos to flower

To lead a harmless meteor shower

The sky smiles when it's dark

But what happens when it's lit

Why does every little thing break

To make everything fit

Fallen into a pool of agony

Endless misery

Such a trickery

In this world of joy and sorrow

I am nineteen today,

Twenty tomorrow.
