Two dozen years.

As I turned twenty four
I thought back to the days before
back when I used to blogged
back when my friends thought I rocked.

Life was easy then
when it was all going according to plan
wake up in the mornings and head to class
head to work in the afternoons to earn some moolahs.

Nowadays I dread the sound of my alarm
whacking the snooze button with my palm
for that horrible sound
meant I have to leave my lovely dream grounds
head back to reality
back to the insanity.

And I pray and I pray
each night and day
for a better job
whilst competing with the newly graduating mob.

At my current occupation
I've been stuck at the same position
for the past year and a half
oh, who would not laugh
at the silly girl who studied for four years
yet fares poorly compared to her peers.

But life's not all bleak for me
I have a wonderful boyfriend you see
and a wonderful lot of friends and family
who all love me unconditionally.

While I whine and complain daily
I'm actually pretty lucky
for I have life's most important treasures
love, health and many other pleasures.

So now, as I slowly reach twenty five
I shall seek out the good in my life
hope and wish that it gets better
for me, for you and for everyone else who matters.
