Unpredictable

 

Unpredictable

"What is in queue for us?"

That question again, no answer comes to mind

It's so unpreidctable, where can we end up?

Maybe at a place that we have never crossed

Or in a casquett, resting 6 feet underground.


Why is the future like this?

You could see it as a monster whose arms won't let go

Or as a comforting nature from whom you shouldn't run

Either way it's there, you ignore it or not

But the question keeps coming, where will I go?


There's no way to know, which is why I'm afraid

Where the future might lead is scary, there is no mistake

Why didn't I study more? 

What could have I done?

But the future has no favorites, the choice has been made


Maybe if I get no rest and just keep getting high scores

Maybe if I compare myself until I can't no more

Why are they so good at this? 

Why can't I get the handle of it?

Maybe I'm just not enough and I should just give up.


I want to succeed, I want to be free

But I just can't, I feel like I'm trapped

It's a vicious cycle where a 90% is not enough

I need to be the best, or all my work was just a bluff


No, I am not gifted, I do make mistakes

And that's the worst part I just can't accept

Why was her grade better? What should I do?

I need to be the best, there's no other way

All I make must be perfect, maybe it makes no sense

But to me it must be so that the future might go my way

I just want it to not be as unpredictable as it's today.
