Your Future Isn’t…

by Sam Rozenberg aged 13

Your future is not my future.
And my future isn’t your future.
His future isn’t my future.
Her future isn’t my future.

A future is what you make,
Not how smart you are.
A future is where you make it,
Like, if you drop out of High School, where is that going to take you?
Or if you do drugs, where will that take you?

If your future is doing drugs,
Then it isn’t my future.
If you are going to jail,
That’s not my future.
Your future is not my future.

If you want kids and a husband,
Then we both want a similar future.
But if you are going to not love them,
My future is not your future.

We all want a good future,
But sometimes,
Your future is not my future.
And my future isn’t your future.
