Futuristic Fear

there is an unnatural weight of what's yet to come

I am terrified of what will soon become
the present
we are not there now but our ages are
slowly pulling themselves up a mountain

what do you suggest we do
to pass the time
should I work tirelessly to be
an unrecognizable version of myself

or should I accept that my biggest fear
is inevitable
my muscle fibers are torn from grappling
with the so called good fight

if one slip up could wreak havoc
on the rest of my life
what do the remainder of my choices mean
is there any space in my life for natural human error

is it worth the effort and sacrifice
to finally get to the good part of the story
because if it's all that it's cut out to be
I really hope I enjoy it
