Don’t not turn 21.
21 is nearing the close age where Military benefits expiration date is due.
21 is your parents excuse to tease you for still living with them.
21 is 12 backwards.
21 is a good time to walk across the stage with a degree.
21 is the age you should have voted at least for the last 2-3 years, No?…Shame on US.
21 is the age where “Can I see your I.D.?” becomes annoying.
21 is not a box that respect hides in waiting patiently for you.
21/2 doesn’t equal a whole number, so don’t expect to feel complete.
21 is the age where the previous statement should not confuse you.
If being drunk, or drunken is the goal set at 12 for 21,then you should go back to 12…you missed something along the way.
I am 21.
I am not 12.
I am not complete.
I am looking for the keys to the locked box.
I am not drunk, nor drunken.
I hope this doesn’t make any sense.
