What Am I?

Answer at the end.

What Am I?

I am far but close

I am the hope you want

But also the unknown you fear

Some only think of me past one second

While most think of me years ahead

I am constantly on your mind

In front and not behind

You have to think of me before you move

I inspire your decision-making before fate overtakes me

I am a part of your imagination

I am sometimes foreshadow

A vision or a dream some may refer to as me

Positive thoughts saids I’m bright

Negative thoughts stop you from truly seeing me

What am I?

The Future.

    You go Emily - You Go - Haunt their dreams. Maybe I don't have to write the smile article after all.
