Fear of the Future

Everyone comes to a point in their life were they get scared of what is going to happen next in life

Fear of the Future

 

Tomorrow come with light and dark,

Has gifts, and curses…

We don’t know what will happen

 

The future is the same;

So mysterious,

So unsure

 

Seconds fly by as do years;

Never will we know future’s heart,

Or what she holds in store for us

 

Pain can come as can happiness.

Happiness can end, and pain can begin;

But pain always comes to an end,

And Happiness starts to form again

 

We worry what will happen;

As our hearts make promises we want to keep,

So why live in fear of pain?

 

Let’s live like tomorrow is our last,

Be happy with our all…

As if the moment will never end

 

Don’t give in to the fear of pain,

Or you will give your fear reality in itself.

Fear should not be what rules us

 

We fear the unknown,

Let it make our decisions for us,

Control what we do and say…

Maybe it’s time to look fear in the face

 

Let’s take destiny into our hands

‘Cause I know I’m tired of being unsure

Running from what may cause pain

Not knowing what the future has in store

 

I don’t know what to do

What to say

Or how to get rid of this unknowing fear

 

 

I pray to a God I somewhat believe in

Wishing my faith to be stronger

Hoping he will lift my fear and guide me

 

The more I teach

The more I learn

The more I write

The better I feel

 

My fear of the future is similar to yours

It leaves me running from the pain

Afraid of being hurt again or doing wrong

I am still waiting and praying

Hoping for control of myself

Though I know I will never be perfect…

 

I don’t know what will happen

Or what will be of me

But I know that pain and happiness is part of life

 

About at that point where I am tired of running

Not sure if I should be afraid

Or embrace the unknown future

But I know that I will always finish up and be happy at the end…

 

Let’s take our fear of the future one day at a time

With those we care for

Those who care for us

And the God we all somewhat believe in 

 

 

 

Author's Note

I am a collage student and always worry were my desicisons will take me. Also there is a poetry contest coming up so i thought i would take an old poem and spice it up a bit. This poem was actually written 2 years ago when i was having faith issues.
