Failure or Future?

by Julianna Ladani, 2024

So much to do, so much to see

I want to choose the thing that’s right for me.

I want to be happy and make myself proud,

but I fear I will be letting them all down.

Will I rise above and soar to great heights,

or will I plummet and fall, leaving me affright?

I wish it all would become so clear,

so I can take a risk; a chance without any fears.

Yet still I do not know what the future holds,

Truthfully I won’t know until it all unfolds.

There are so many things to choose from, that I know for sure,

But choose the wrong thing, and experience a never ending loop with no cure.

I hope to prosper and choose the right path,

so I won’t have to be stuck, living a life of tragic aftermath.

So much to do, so much to see

I want to choose the thing that’s right for me.

Though it’s clear I won’t know any sooner,

I want to just live a happy life with a very bright future.
