how you view the future

the future is a strange place
they do things differently there
do you find it fills you with fear?
it is it too far away for you to care

it can depend on the scale of time
what tasks lay right before you
in general, when I was younger
the future was something to look forward to

but then I met some folk
for whom the future was full of doubt
the present is a tricky place
and they weren't sure they'd make it out

I realised that approaching time
can't just be taken as given
that life will pass you by
if you forget it's somewhere to live in

the future seems more uncertain
and it's getting closer all the time
I'll deal with it the only day I know
... I'll try to capture it in rhyme
