25 candles, none of them feel like light Just burning proof I been wasting my time Parents’ money on my back like a loan I can’t repay Same house, same room, same yesterday Still riding pillion like life got no wheel No license, no control, tell me how freedom feel? Overweight dreams, underweight action Full of plans, zero traction Eating mom’s food, then I scream when it’s bland Ungrateful mouth, but these hands give nothing back Talking big pain while I live on her care Burden wearing human skin, sitting in a chair Got a job but I don’t got a name Junior marketer turned everything but a gain Frontend, Figma, posts, projects on call Doing ten people’s work — paid like I’m small Three years gone, tell me what I mastered? Little bit of everything — expert in disaster CV looking like confusion in bold “Jack of all trades” is just failure told cold What role I apply for? What dream I chase? I just clock in life like it’s another workplace 25 ain’t a flex — it’s a warning bell Closer to death than the goals I tell Cut the cake not to celebrate breath Cut it to count how close I am to death No cheers, no smile, no fake blessing Just reality doing a full body pressing This ain’t sadness — this accountability Me vs me, no sympathy No enemy stronger than comfort’s trap No pain louder than knowing you could’ve snapped higher — but didn’t act. - @anaaannya #QuarterLifeReality #SilentStruggles #SelfAccountability #GrowingWithoutClapping #LifeUnfiltered #ComfortIsTheEnemy #25AndLearning
