Fitting My Own Skin

I love being in my 30's. They feel right. More than most years have till now. They also feel like a good point to restart growing. :)

School years were lovely,
I read and learnt and grew.
Each week brought me something
Fascinating, unknown and new.

But school years were also lonely;
The stuff I loved, few friends did.
And often I was more at ease
Talking with a parent than with a kid!
...
...

I got to college and hoped to find
Passion, love, and maybe wisdom;
I did I did, I cannot lie!
I found them all, and then some!

I still felt like I stuck out a bit,
Though my friends were now more like me.
And while the world made sense - so much more,
There were days that were... lonely.
...
...

Early adulthood was a blast,
Though the stress was more than I cared for!
I found my calling and made my mistakes;
Those years left me both enriched and sore.

I was more at ease now,
With the world and with me.
But sometimes still, when I looked at my peers
I would feel all at sea!
...
...

Thirties now, they feel so good
I am at ease, I burn so bright!
I finally seem to fit my own mind;
And so today I feel SO right!
