Why Future? Poem by Jacob Wilkins

What will I do?
What does my future hold?
Is it you and me?
In perfect harmony?
How will I support us?
Will we struggle to keep warm?
Struggle to make do?
Will we go our seperate ways?
Forget promises of forever, in our old age?
Can I break the saying; like father like son?
Or will I be just another one?
Could I keep my sanity with your whisper in my ear?
The voice so sweet that I long to hear?
Will I do alone with my memories to haunt me?
Or maybe I'll die young, will I be forgotten?
Why does pain hurt like it does...?
Why must the future bring pain...?
Why must it be so certain?
