Time and Uncertainty

The things I loathe the most,
are time and uncertainty.
It passes in a blink of eye,
And yet remains an eternity.

I sit by the window and ask the sky,
"Will I be able to embrace the future me?"
"Will I be contented when I'll die?"

But does that even matter?
I'm already a good friend of rejection and jealousy,
And yet I can't bring myself to start a new chapter.

How can I accept,
My roots would be alien to me someday
I guess, I gotta learn,
Everything won't be perfect.

No matter what,
I can't run away,
And I can't trust my gut.

They tell me to trust the procedure,
But I can't do anything,
I'm an over-thinking creature.
