The Pyramid Scheme on Life

It feels like we are left behind don't we? Us young adults. As time went by, it shoved us to the side while putting other riders on its line. Not young but not an adult yet. We ricochet between the truth that is stamped on our age and the reality that shows us the plunging fact of our fate. We are angry, disappointed, bewilderment settled on our mental state with the fear of not getting the life we were promised. Blame the advertisements, blame the school system, blame the government. We had hopes, a dream to conquer our goals. Time was on our side, the greatest illusion one can be tricked by. Statues we have become as our eyes roam the future we were suppose to be in. What will be our future is what is in our present, nothing.

With that, the cycle continues. We may get jealous of the position the young ones are in now but feel pity for them cause we know what's coming. What kind of world are we living in?!
