21st century- the turbo mode
Being 21 in the 21st century
I feel like an adult
yet my thoughts remain anchored in the pre-COVID era
Playing in an open yard from dusk till dawn
the innocent mischievous acts
I don’t understand how time passes by
It feels like I am in a turbo mode
racing to complete a jigsaw puzzle against the clock
It still feels like just yesterday
I was immersed in ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’
now I'm grappling with the swift passage of time
Am I stuck at a stalemate,
held by nostalgia?
Unable to break out of the box
hidden in the darkness.
People have started moving like automatons
forgetting to cherish the simple joys of life.
