Where Has My Youth Gone?

Thirty three years of living
And now I am wondering...
Am I living a happy life?
Is it worth going through some strife?
I have laughed a million laughters
Thinking that that is what matters.
I might have cried an ocean of tears
With different reasons through the years.
Many people came and go in my life;
But no serious man to make me his wife.
Circumstances made me know my friends who are true...
And showed me those who are fake and fair weather too.
And then I have tasted life at its best...
Nevertheless, I went through the most difficult test.
Through it all, my family never left me.
Thank You, God for blessing me continuously.
So many things in the bucketlist left undone.
Will still do those; but really, where has my youth gone?

@nottoooldtowrite Don't delay marrying anymore . You should be able to start a family by 35 so you can have two or more .

Nice to see you expressing your feelings in a poem! I am double your age and life does go very fast. However, our faith in God, opens the prospects of everlasting life, not in this world but in the one soon to come.

In depth feelings indeed. Nothing need be wasted in life - I am double your age but feel everything has happened for a purpose including some who made me think - if I have them as friends there are no need for any enemies! They were just fair weather ones!
Good that you are also blessed in many ways and the best is yet to come! siva

I recall my youth and have many good and valuable memories and lessons.
I was never alone, not always a good thing.
You have many years ahead of you friend, and those questions are natural.
I wish you most importantly peace and health through out the years.
Family is most important.

It is a nice poetry depicting your state of mind. It seems that having lived your life for thirty years, you are still searching for the answer, where did you spend all your life. Time runs so fast that we never come to realize about it. It is, therefore, you should finish the things sooner than later before it is too late.
I agree with the suggestion of dear friend @SIMPLYD that you should get married at the earliest so that you could live a happy married life.

@nottoooldtowrite If you plan to marry in future, it would be better to start looking for a match.

At thirty three our youth is still with you. You have plenty of time to complete the things on your bucket list.
