A 21 Year Old

Ask me about my career, I wouldn’t have a clue I am busy questioning my very existence, like a fool Waiting for the ‘right’ time to take the ‘right’ decision Till then I simply avoid those ‘ruthless’ people who ask such questions Things don’t work like this, that’s what I am told Oh good lord spare me! In the end I am just a 21 year old. Ask me about my love life, and I would say I love my dog Be it my tears, my smile or my anger, she has seen me going through all The winds, those pretty flowers and rains Finding happiness amidst sorrow and pain But that’s just in the movies and the novels I read In the real life, I guess I will stay single with such needs Things don’t work like this, that’s what I am told Oh good lord spare me In the end I am just a 21 year old. Ask me about my family, and I will say I love them a lot It took me a few years to realize their importance But I hope they will forgive me for being such a clot But it takes time to cherish the love of such purity To get over and look beyond teenage insanity I hope things work like this, in this, nothing was to be told Oh good lord spare me In the end m just a 21 year old Ask me if I know how to cook, and I would ask will Maggie be enough? Dealing with those flames and spices, I find that a little tough But then mom says, you are a grown up now, you should learn all this My answer? I will learn it when the time is right , let's not be unfair by leaving a cook unemployed Things don’t work like this, that’s what I am told Oh good lord spare me In the end i am just a 21 year old Ask me when I am planning to grow up And I will say, I need more time A little more time to introspect, a little more time to know The purpose of my life , someday I will unfold Till then, oh good lord spare me I am just a 21 year old!
