Could I actually be the only one,
in this high school student lounge,
constantly thinking about the future?
Am I too uptight?
Am I missing out on opportunities?

I feel as if I'm constantly thinking about tomorrow,
and it seems that everyone else has a blueprint for their tomorrows.
But at the same time,
they're not thinking of their futures.
They're living in the moment.

...I wish I could live in the moment...

...What has happened to me?

...What happened to the teenager in the mirror, that I knew a year ago...

Are you lowering your value in your eyes, for no reason? The title is a bit of a stretch, more so your reason for it, but the meaning can shed a light on the whole poem. The poem itself shows what you are meaning to say (every line is pointing to a feeling of lonely insecurity about the future), but the obscure title draws the most attention.
P.S. If it ever seems I know what I'm doing, consider how many paths I'm taking on. Then know this: I have a ton of ideas, none of which I feel I can dedicate myself to fully or that for certain I will enjoy them & my life.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
