My Twenty-Two Years

I interviewed myself at 22 years of age.

My Twenty-Two Years

In my twenty-two years
I have never been to college
I have never had a steady job
I've never found a cure for the common cold
Or invented a much needed gizmo.

In my twenty-two years
I have never saved someones life
I have no life long childhood friends
I've never been the popular one
Or been rich enough for some.

But in my twenty-two years
I can say I've made my mother proud
I've got a high school diploma
I have my own poetry published
And have survived this long in this world.

In my twenty-two years
I have married my one true love
And most importantly
I've made miracles
My two sons.
