Writing, loving, playing
The past is what it was
Studying, feeling, reading
The present is what it is
Partying, having fun, hardships
The future will be what it will be

Future
Mysterious and kind
Cruel and true
What will become of it?

A doctor in a white coat
A musician in a tux
A girl, falling in love
With the amazing world around

The future is a world unexplored,
Similar to the present
You don't know what it is
You don't know what will happen

When I look back today
I see a young girl,
Shy, tiny, and unknowing

When I look today,
I see a teen
Braver, but in her shell
Afraid to break free


In the future,
I hope to see a woman
Loving caring and honest,
Someone who knows
What it means to be alive

The future is a blur
Possibilities at every turn
Unexpected happiness
Unexpected sadness

The present is filled
Regret, longing, and choice
The future, I hope
With happiness, peace, and love
Upon the sweat of my past
I build my future
One block at a time
One today is a million tomorrow
One tomorrow just builds
To make a glorious life
A hopeful one

The girl once young and innocent
Turns to become something new
Something different, unique
Shaped by experiences

Writing, loving, playing
The past is what it was
Studying, feeling, reading
The present is what it is
Knowing, caring, understanding
The future will be what it will be
