The future burdened with expectations,
Weighed down by the heavy packs
Sculpted upon our backs.
Such is our requirement
To fulfill their dreams, on the culmination
Of our success.

Yet the future is beyond our control,
Hence, why the rush?
To thrive relentlessly, devoid of sustenance,
Is it worth the fuss?

Then the future too, is a figment of the mind
As is the past.
Both faces hold mere thoughts,
Thoughts that barely last.

Surplus stress.

The future burdened with expectations,
Weighed down by the heavy packs
Sculpted upon our backs.
Such is our requirement
To fulfill their dreams, on the culmination
Of our success.

Yet the future is beyond our control,
Hence, why the rush?
To thrive relentlessly, devoid of sustenance,
Is it worth the fuss?

Then the future too, is a figment of the mind
As is the past.
Both faces hold mere thoughts,
Thoughts that barely last.
