Twenty Four

Turning twenty-four is nothing more 
than a frame that holds a door. 

My eyes are fixed upon a 
job that I struggle to seek 

a couple months before 
I reach my peak. 

The only baby I still cradle,
is my pot of creativity 

that I stir with my ladle.
As time passes by, I dream

of my highs while riding 
in my lows because reality

is originality, and fantasy
is a mask in disguise.
