Forward

2021 came without warning,

Time moves faster than it did before.

The year ends and I barely get a thought in.

Where will I be in 20 years?

What does the future have in store for me?

Who will I become?

Is it my choice to decide my future?

Or could it be my fate or destiny?

18 is the age I turn,

But I'm still a child.

Growing up happened kind of fast.

I wonder how the world will change.

Will I have kids?

Will I be lonely?

Who could I have lost?

Should I be thinking about this?

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
