PARADOXICAL FUTURE - A Poem

PARADOXICAL FUTURE

What will happen in the future?
I wish I knew the answer!
Whether I will die young or
Live till a ripe old age, alive for years!

Knowing my failures prior,
To them actually happening to me.
Will it fill me with anxiety so crippling,
That my failures become a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Or, will it enable me to overcome them,
And turn  them into sweet fruits of a successful being?

But, won't my failures-turned-successes
Show again in my future sightings?
Then, shouldn't I feel content, and
Let the failures overcome the would-be-successes?

This baffles me so, this constant tortuous path
This is a living paradox-living, breathing, changing.
The future is The Labyrinth, this is the truth
Forever winding and unwinding, just as we almost unravel it.
