I don't know.


Everytime I meet a new person they ask me,

what do you think your future is going to be like?

Well what if there isn't an answer to that question?

what if I don't know what my future will be like because of my current situation?

what if I don't know what my goals are because I have no limitations?

what if this the question that has no explication?

what if?

Because I truly don't know exactly what my future will be like,

I truly don't know if I'll have a car or run around on a bike,

I don't know what a good future for myself is supposed to be like,

I don't, I just don't know.

So tell me, what should I do?

should I sit down and think about what I want?

should I just go along with what my parents want?

will I be a doctor or lawyer?

would I make a better doctor or a better lawyer?

The thing is that I don't know,

so the decision will be made,

obstacles will get in my way,

and the stress will put more weight,

on my shoulders, and I won't be able to resit it,

probably going to give up cause I can't resist it.

 

Or maybe not,

maybe I'll make the right decision,

maybe my future will be great,

maybe it will be colorful instead of grey,

but at the end it's all maybes,

because I don't know,

I just don't know.
