O Future
One year ago the school was bright
And dreams of the future kept me up at night
Thoughts of
"Where will I go?"
And "Who will I be?"
Dreaming,
Thinking,
Endlessly.
Nine months ago life was full of splendor
Questions multiplying, few to be answered
Thoughts of
"How high will I climb?"
And "What can I do?"
Through
And through
Friends ask too.
Six months ago was a blur like no other
Deadlines and due dates, one after another
Thoughts of
"...fuck"
And "Well I'll be damned!"
Cram
Seniors, cram
You're in a jam.
Today and I hear it! After months of waiting
A raspy voice, weak and grating:
"O Future! O Future! Who will I be and what can I do?"
A pause, and an answer, "Wonder. Wonder lies in you."
"Well I'll be damned. I think Sir, that's true."
