Terrors of the Future
I wonder what I am
What I may be
What I will become
What I may cease to know
What I may cease to love
Is there oblivion in the distance coming nearer
Is there fear in the gentle kiss of fate thrusting you forward
One day will I look back at this day
And laugh at my own failures
That is the joy of the future
To look down with clairvoyance at the past
But when the future comes nearer
I fear that I may be the last
Tugged towards this new world
Glittering with excitment, clouded by fears
If it brings me endless pain
If the sun remains haughty and the perpetaul rain
Will I lack the courage to move ahead
Or leak my tears onto the worn bed
I feel like a lamb led towards the slaughter
The blindfold placed on by the executioner
Am I unable to see the horrors that lie ahead of me
Or am I cowardly enough to envision my death
And turn my back on the happiness that lies beyond that door
I have yet to enter yet I stand
In the hallway
My hand on the knob
Unable to turn it
I feel so incredibly small
