Today I am 21 years young
I have 21 years in my pocket
To teach me
And help me grow
I have 21 years inside me
To guide me
Through the bumps in the road
Because those years inside me
Zero through twenty
Have all taught me
Something valuable
How to love
Who to love
What to dream of
Where to go
Why I feel
Happy, mad, sad, glad
It all matters
It is all a part of me
And makes me 21 years young
I’m still young,
Because I still have a lot to do
Many places to go
And things to become
I’m still young
Because I’m still learning
With each day passed
I grow a little bit wiser.
Sometimes growing older scares me
Not because of the wrinkles
Or anything like that…
But because it means more time
More days spent afraid of living
Instead of living fearlessly
I’m 21 years young today
And I am starting a new beginning
I won’t start over
Because I have learned from my past
But whatever happened then
To make me become afraid
Of growing old
Doesn’t matter anymore
My new goal in life
Is to see how many wrinkles I can collect
I want to never feel so small
Because living in fear is no life at all
