Lemons

I look up to the future, 
Full of determination.
Now in the present, 
Will i pass that examination? 

Some live by the day,
Others sit and pray, 
What is my way? 
Answer that question.

I question my being, 
Why? 
I don't know. 
Answer that question.

I dream of a future, 
Full of peace.
Now in the present, 
Do i rest in peace?
