I'm sitting here realizing I'm now 23
A quarter of my life now gone, crazy
I have hair on my face, back, and chest
No more innocence, I'm now in the test
Can I make it in this dog eat dog place
Will I be someone, or just another face
Everyone asks me for answers, which I give
I'll keep giving answers for as long as I live
But for as much as I know, I don't know more
I'm lost in a world with every open door
They tell me I'm smart, I can do anything
But the phone of life doesn't seem to ring
I try something, I get good, and then I'm bored
I take every risk, but find no reward
Family and friends support me quite well
But my mind keeps me in a jail cell
I don't know what to do, or where to go
I just follow my nose, and go with the flow
Birthdays used to be so much fun
I wanted to have more, now I want none
Happy Birthday me, you're even older now
I want to celebrate, but I don't know how

I believe the correct response is "Happy Birthday"
So...
Happy birthday!
EDIT: No but really I feel yea. 23 here soon myself and I'm not quite hitting personal expectations. Best solution is to keep myself on a track that is moving forward to something I want. All plans are a go, just gotta keep truckin'.

Life isn't linear? WTF! How am I supposed to follow a straight line if all these other things keep happening to me.

Don't sweat it. If you're smart enough to write a poem like that (and ballsy enough to post it), you'll figure this whole thing out. You just have to decide what you want. If you wake up each morning and you have to chose your outfit from a ENORMOUS wardrobe, each morning would be hell because you have to search and try on the clothes and it creates anxiety. On the other hand, if you have your style down and you know exactly where to go for your clothes, that creates confidence. You know what you're about when it comes to your clothes. Time to move on to the next thing.
Sorry for the preaching. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a fine day

Just stay cool and fun and be active and take risks and do what you love and it will work out, yes? Maybe not. Worth a try though?
