Dear 20,
I'm scared for you 20, you're so grown and still ill prepared.
You have nothing, no name, no title, no prestige.
You're nowhere you're no better than 15.
Nowhere closer than 15
Are you happier than 17 are you more fulfilled than 17
You're still nothing 20, only more lines and more doubt
where are the papers you're supposed to have published
where are the honors you're supposed to have claimed
where are you in your scheme
are you still at stage one 20?
Best,
19
