Future

I'm so caught up in the present that the future alludes me
Though it looms not so far off in the distance
It seems to be oblivious to my existence
Trudging along through today as if I could
prolong the coming of tomorrow
Holding back time's hands as if silencing its chime
would cause a greater resistance
There can be no happily ever after
for there's no after there's only now
The now where all ceases
except for the beat of my own heart
For I am afraid
Afraid that today's failures
coupled with tomorrow's disappointments
will serve to be a load too heavy to bear
That today's misconceptions of me
will be cause enough for a bad reception of my destiny
So in a rendition of my own minstrel showing
I clown about black faced
In hopes that in performing jovial sorrow
I shall become it
