I'm in my stumbling 20's

getting humbled daily

by everyday life

up all night scheming and dreaming

trying to escape from the clutch

of stress, anxiety and depression

money woes is a familiar foe

we always go toe to toe

at this point I'm a pro

but am I really though ?

because I never end up on top

I live at the bottom

hopefully I'll experience sturdy 30's

I'm tired of skating in this ice rink

I hope to find my footing

Is it too much to ask ?

all I want is stability
