Life is hard but still easy
One minute you are so proud of yourself and the other you do
not know what life is all about
You feel like you want to cry but you find no reason to do
so
Tomorrow looks so hopeful but today is not coming to an end
The boy you hopped to marry has suddenly run off with the “best
friend”
And you know
what!..... You have to look for planB
You want to work and make your own shilling but do not want
to be confined in an office somewhere for 9hrs
You want a full time job that sustains your expensive
lifestyle but everyone is asking for experienced peeps
You want to attend every upcoming high end event but you
live with your parents and your wallet is empty
You want to buy those awesomely manufactured classy pairs of
heels but parting with 5k that you do not have is a pinch
You have to skip several lunches so that you can go for the
Nairobi restaurant week to post the epic food photos on instagram too
Your friends are getting pregnant and you still not sure
whether to give it up, what is the right time and who is the right person
Is there really a right time and a right person?
Others are already married by come we stay and you can
barely make your own meal
You feel too lazy to cube onions and tomatoes… so sandwiches
of bread and ham are your daily meals
You doubt that you can cater for another person because your
pile of laundry is hipping at the corner of you room
On your mail, an e-cards of one of your high school bff’s
wedding
Who is marrying you and yet I have no boyfriend? You often
ask silently
Mere jealousy and excitement all at the same time
Then you want to be Mary Jane smart successful but not
sealing other peoples husbands
You want to have your own empire but don’t know how to set
it up
You finally work the logistics out but they guise more to
the odds of it succeeding
You are so passionate about success that your fears boil up
your dreams and you are afraid of taking any step forward.
You burn the midnight oil trying to look for a future for
your unborn babies
You get old Ben spying on your ass but to you old dogs have
no teeth to bite
Young Ben don’t look at you because you too expensive to maintain
they say
All you need is some respect and someone to say I got ya.
You got enemies right and center and few friends on the left
You don’t understand why they are cruel and those mean have
nothing on you
You become afraid to making it in life because you feel you
will lose the ones on the left too
When the streets get too hard for you … you think of moving
to the side ways
Till morning when the sun rises then you remember the streets
are made for you
You have dined in the best hyped lounges and you do not
understand what the fuss is all about
You have found him but you hope that you still have time to
dilly dully
You are afraid to commit just so you can have the chills
when your phone rings.
Your instagram is full of shots of the good site you have
visited in your long life
At 23 the memories of yester night make you hope for a
better tomorrow
At 23 they all see potential in you but you keep doubting
yourself.
At 23 tomorrow is the day after today.
